Kid Runs Away from St. John's Catholic Orphanage

By: J.B. Barrington

On Saturday evening, Josephine Jorgelino De La Guerra, an eleven-year-old boy, ran away from St. John's Catholic Orphanage.

"Josephine was a good boy," Sister Maryorie, one of the Nuns in charge of the orphanage said when she was interviewed. "He's been living here since he was three, and he's never done anything like this before."

The St. John's Catholic Orphanage is the orphanage right next to St. John's Church. The kids there are constantly seen helping in the community and go to church at St. John's Church every Sunday.

"We've been looking for Josephine everywhere we go, and some Sisters have even been out later trying to find him," Sister Maryorie explained, frowning. "Josephine was one of our favorites, mainly just because he was very sweet and polite, so we're all very worried about him," she informed the interviewer.

Mother Mary-Charlotte, who runs the orphanage, was also interviewed. She said that if Josephine didn't come back within the week, they'd be forced to send Snyder to look for him and teach him a lesson about running away before bringing him home.

"The world is not nice to kids like Josephine," Mother Mary-Charlotte explained. "He'll get hurt, he may even die, because no one cares for him on the streets, and Josephine is one of our softer-hearted," she informed them. "He needs to come back to that he's safe, so we ask that if anyone sees him, to either let us know or bring him back."

Josephine was last seen in his white and blue nightclothes. However, Sister Maryorie explained that some of his others clothes were missing when they found him gone, so he may not be in his nightclothes anymore. Josephine has darker brown hair and brown eyes. He has a very pale complexion with many freckles.

Please contact Mother Mary-Charlotte or the police if you find Josephine.
