The St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office is seeking information about a juvenile it described as a runaway.

In a post on its Facebook page, the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office described the juvenile as a runaway.

Anyone with information is urged to come forward.

How to Report Information

The sheriff's office asks anyone with information to contact Detective Chris Waguespack at 985-783-1125 or by email at [email protected]. For tips outside of regular business hours, the department also provided the Communications Center number, 985-783-6807.

What the missing-child figures show

The available figures are national, not a Louisiana tally: the Louisiana State Police, citing the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, says more than 400,000 children are reported missing annually in the United States. The source identifies endangered runaways as the largest category but does not provide a Louisiana count or a percentage of cases classified as runaways.
