Customers who walked down the aisles where the teen was living never noticed two hidden compounds where the boy was able to store necessities, sleep in a makeshift bed and and eat items taken from inside the store. He created a crack in the back wall of the drink aisle to grab juice and even collected a fish from the pet department. … Sources said the 14-year-old was so concerned about being caught he wore diapers instead of using the store restroom. Eventually, a trash trail led to the teen’s discovery.
The boy’s mother says he has a history of running away to hide in “abandoned houses, businesses and creeks.”
