He took his brother's car and drove three hours to meet an"unknown male" who had given him an address, police said.Police in South Carolina pulled the child over after noticing he was driving in the car alone shortly after midnight on Monday morning.
He told the officer he had taken his brother's car and had been driving for three hours but was now lost; he had traveled from Simpsonville to Charleston, a 200 mile journey. The boy said he was going to live with an "unknown male" he met on Snapchat, who had given him an address, police said. However the GPS on his father's tablet had lost signal, and he couldn't recover the address because the Snapchat message had since deleted.He provided his father's name and number; when the officer called, the dad was in the process of reporting his son missing to Simpsonville PD, on the complete far side of the state.
The tablet was taken into evidence as police attempt to extract the address to discover where the boy was going; they are investigating into who provided him with the address.
