Sheriff's Office on Missing Idaho Children
Authorities believed that the three Idaho children ran away from their homes. The focus of the Gem County Sheriff's office recent efforts is to locate the whereabouts of the youngest child in the group, Taryn Summers, who was reported to be missing late Monday afternoon.
"Her [Taryn] status is that of (a) missing child due to her young age," the sheriff's office said.
However, authorities also face the fact that Taryn might also have run away from their home and might be with the two older kids.
Authorities have searched the area comprehensively to make sure that the 8-year-old kid is not nearby or injured, according to an Associated Press report. The Sheriff's office is also reaching out to anyone who knows Taryn to find out if she might also be with a friend.
Meanwhile, Tristan Sexton and Taylor Summers, who were reported to be runaways, were deemed safe by the authorities because reports noted that they have had "frequent contact" with their family members during their absence from their home.
Taryn was last seen on Monday wearing dark blue leggings and a white long-sleeved shirt. The eight-year-old kid, who is 4'0" in height, also wears black and pink tennis shoes.
The Gem County Sheriff's Office posted a statement in its Facebook public group, saying that the investigation is still ongoing, and Taryn is not yet located by the authorities. Furthermore, the police noted that there's no identified safety concern for the general public.
