Police are searching for a boy whose mysterious disappearance wasn't reported for over a decade.
"We don't know what happened to Adam Herrman past '99, when he was last seen," said Sheriff Craig Murphy.
Adam, 11, was living in a mobile home park in southern Kansas when he was reportedly last seen by his adoptive parents, Doug and Valerie Herrman.
The couple told the police that the boy was a frequent runaway and they believed he was homeless or with his biological parents.
Murphy said that the Herrmans are being cooperative with the investigation and have not been charged with anything.

They did it! Other wise why wouldn’t a parent report him missing. And if he was a frequent run away, and would rather be with birth parents then that just shows what kind of parents the adoptive ones are.

N, not necessarily. I too, was in several foster homes and running away often times has nothing to do with the parents being bad parents or good parents. It has to do with the sadness, loneliness, and confusion about their (the child’s) place in the world. A lot of the running away has to do with the immaturity of the child. Believe me when I say this as I speak from expierence and was considered an expert at running away from children’s homes, foster homes and juvenile detention centers when I was much younger. I once survived on the streets for 9 months. While Adam’s adoptive parents were stupid for not reporting him missing, it may have nothing to do with what they did or did not do. Thousands of children go missing each year, many by unscrupulous adults and many by the children themselves.

I have to agree with Ed. Running away at a young age has so many reasons. I started running away at 2 and 1/2 and did it til I was old enough to grow up. Of course, my mother was an alcolic when I was in my teens and I hated argueing but never argued with my dad. So, although I am suspecious of any adult that doesn’t report a missing child, at this moment in time, I will wait to judge. I am furious that they didn’t report him and why didn’t the schools or church or friends report a missing child. That too seems curious to me. And have they talked to the other siblings in the home? So hard to believe no one missed this child
