Jenny Baughman:

Please don’t get discouraged by the reports of Nathan being a runaway that left a note behind. Nate is in advanced placement classes at school, he’s so so smart. Nathan is not well, his home life is happy. He has so many accomplishments that he has worked so hard for that are all weeks/ months away from full completion. He’s beyond excited about his future. He has been a straight A student his whole life and cannot wait to graduate. He loves his family. Nate did not prepare to “runaway”, regardless of the note he left behind. It doesn’t make sense, he didn’t even take his coat with him. He didn’t take but a very small portion of his own money with him. He didn’t take any clothes. He is not well. He is not thinking clearly. And he is not okay. He needs his counselors, his doctors, and his family. He needs medical attention and intervention as soon as possible. Please help us so we can help him. anyone who knows anything about Nate’s whereabouts, please understand he is not well, and he needs help that is beyond what anyone else can give him. If there is anyone assisting Nathan, we will not hold you accountable. We just want our son back, nothing more. Please.
