The Port Lavaca Police Department is searching for a runaway juvenile from the local area. A photo has been shared online with parents’ permission to help identify the child. Authorities ask anyone with information to call the police at 361-552-3788 instead of posting on social media. Texas law makes it illegal to hide or help a runaway, and those who don’t report it can face criminal charges. Police urge the community to report tips directly to keep the search safe and effective.
