Original story: CORVALLIS, Ore. – State authorities are asking the public to be on the lookout for a missing foster child.
The Oregon Department of Human Services said 12-year-old Nakhai Roberts ran away from a children’s care facility in Corvallis on June 7. He was accompanied by a 16-year-old boy who was also from the facility. They were reportedly seen headed eastbound toward Albany.
