Episode Description

A child tells you someone in their video-game chat needs help. Do you assume it’s somebody making up a story, or do you take it seriously? This story floored us this morning -- it's an update to a story we first brought you last week about a Utah teen who was found in Oregon after being missing for a year and a half. According to NBC News, she was found after reaching out to another teen through an online game. The teen lived in Colorado but told his mom about this call for help. Within 24 hours, the Utah teen had been found there in Oregon. Missing for 17 months… and found thanks to a conversation inside an online game. It's absolutely crazy!
