Two youth assaulted a security guard in their escape from the Thayer Learning Center Tuesday night, July 29. Thayer Learning Center is located in Kidder Missouri.

Caldwell County authorities alerted surrounding law enforcement agencies of the escape at approximately 11:45 p.m. that night. Reports state that a security guard was tied up after being assaulted. Jameson and Fox, the two escapees, were last seen leaving the area on foot.

Reports saying the youth had left on foot had authorities searching in all directions but mainly toward Daviess County. Later information came to police that the boys intended to stop at the McDonald's in Cameron, Mo.

Shortly before 1 a.m., Cameron police were notified that the subjects were in a truck at the McDonald's Drive through. Cameron police, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Caldwell Sheriff arrived on scene.

Why did they tie him up without cutting his throat?  ???

Likely because they didn't have murderous intent, just a drive to escape abuse.  They obviously were somewhat criminally minded, they did steal a truck...rather than laying low.

Because unlike people in jail or juvenile detention, they have not committed a crime. They have not even been in court. Perhaps they dress wrong, are picky regarding food or attend the wrong church according to their parents and then they are sent to this horrible place.

If someone entered your home and took your away for one of these typical reasons, it wouldn't make you a killer but for sure you will try to regain your freedom by escaping the facility when the chance comes to you.

They probably stole the truck to facilitate escape. I don't think they're criminally minded. If you have ever run-away, you know it's not easy if you don't have friends to crash with. If you have any sort of disability, or aren't sophisticated it's even worse. Someone sophisticated and adequate would know to contact a lawyer, or be able to find someone sympathetic. Sadly, not all kids have these qualities, or aren't don't stumble onto someone sympathetic. So, some runawys "make it" with comparatively little suffering, others end up doing desperate things they are destroyed by. Some become overwhelmed and commit suicide like George from Benchmark.
When i ran away I had a very bad time. There is so much unnecessary suffering in life.
