DYLAN POTTER - 16 yo - London (E of Springfield) OH

"Dylan Potter, please come home."
That's the plea Madison County Sheriff's deputies and Potter's family made on Wednesday, 28 days after the 16-year-old left his mother's Spring Valley Road home and disappeared.
Melissa Hammons said she returned home from her third-shift job on Aug. 18 to find that her son had stayed out most of the night with friends from the Madison-Plains area - something he was not allowed to do. During the ensuing confrontation, Hammons threatened to curtail Potter's privileges.
"This house is on lock down," Hammons told her son.
While Hammons slept a few hours later, Potter slipped out of the house with nothing but the clothes on his back.
Hammons reported her son's absence and began following the procedures laid out by the county's juvenile court in such matters.
Deputies questioned Potter's father, who lives in Springfield, as well as his friends in the area. None have seen Potter since Aug. 18 and Det. Chris Carter believes they are telling the truth.
"His friends have not seen him," Carter said.
As hours turned into days and days into weeks, both Hammons and Carter grew increasingly concerned about Potter's welfare.
"The longer he stays out there, the more chance he'll be harmed or get into trouble," Carter said.
While runaway juveniles are not uncommon in Madison County, this case is different from most others. Generally, most runaways are located within a few hours or days, Carter said.
Potter will soon be missing for 30 days, meaning Carter will be legally required to gather forensic information on the youth - in case there's a need to identify a body.
Hammons said Potter's behavior changed abruptly in recent months, prompting additional concerns about his whereabouts and associates.
"He was a mama's boy," Hammons said. "We were great friends."
Potter had goals and ambition. He enrolled at London Academy in hopes of graduating early and joining the military. He got good grades and was well liked by teachers and other students.
All that changed earlier this summer when Potter acquired a new girlfriend and a new group of pals. He lost interest in school and appeared adrift. His mother suspected drug use.
Carter chased rumors that Potter was spotted in The Londonerry apartments and other London neighborhoods in recent days. None could be confirmed.
Hammons is concerned about how her son is surviving with no money, no driver's license or car, and no place to sleep.
"I want him to come home," she said, tearfully. "It's not that bad. Just come home."
Carter agreed.
"He needs to come home so we can work this out," Carter said.
The detective doubts Potter met with foul play. He suspects the youth is somewhere in central Ohio.
"There's people out there who know something," Carter said.
Potter is 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information about the youth's whereabouts should call the Madison County Sheriff's Office at (740) 852-1212 and ask for Det. Chris Carter.

MADISON COUNTY, Ohio -- A Madison County mother and a local detective are asking a 16-year-old runaway to come home.
NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS from The Madison Press and the Madison County sheriff's office.
Dylan Potter, 16, left his mother's Spring Valley Road home in a huff Wednesday, Aug. 18, and disappeared.
