Runaway Boy, 14, Lived in Walmart For Two Days [View all]

A Texas runaway hid out in a Walmart store for more than two days, burrowing into a stack of paper towels and toilet paper with a second hideout among baby products and strollers, according to authorities and video evidence.

The 14-year-old boy, who has not been identified, was reported missing on July 28. He was staying with his aunt in Corsicana, Texas, while his parents were out of town, Corsicana Police Chief Randy Bratton said today in a statement. The family told police he has a history of running away, the statement said.

Two days later, at around 11 p.m., police were called to an around-the-clock Walmart, where employees had found the boy.

Photos released today by news station KTVT show where the boy allegedly hid while in the store: in a display of baby products and strollers and behind a stack of paper towels and toilet paper.
