IrelandNine police officers searched a house in Dublin on Thursday morning to locate a 14-year-old boy who had been missing since running away from a children's court hearing related to a criminal case. The boy, who has been in state care since April, was found hiding under a blanket in a wardrobe. The search followed a court-issued warrant allowing police to enter the property based on information, including a Snapchat message, suggesting the boy was staying there. The woman living in the house claimed she was unaware of the boy's presence, though her son reportedly had contact with him recently. After being located, the boy expressed disappointment and requested his phone back before being returned to his care placement. His parents described the situation as 'very distressing' and expressed concerns about his behavior, including threatening messages sent to them. They believe he needs proper support and a stable environment.
