Reply to comment by ninjaboss56 in Homeless camp locations around Springfield? by Ogtrot

What makes me sick to my stomach is my brother missing! I'm at a point that I don't have other options. I've been everywhere I could think of. Cops have been clearing camps all year. I'm desperate. It is going to be 5 degrees tonight and I'm terrified he is out there. If you're saying I'm somehow unaware of his records, you're out of your mind. His warrant is not for possession. It's for missing the court date. Because he's missing... I'll do whatever I have to to find him. And if you wouldn't do the same for your sibling, then we have different ideas of what family means. He is my best friend and I'm asking for help from our community. I don't want to cause anyone any issues.

You may wanna hit up the emergency warming shelters and show his photos to the volunteers. I know Brentwood church opens their doors at night when the weather gets bad. They would have a list of other official warming shelters.

There is a right way and a wrong way. Are homeless shelters the only place you’ve looked? He could just as easily be in a sober living home that you are unaware of which would make sense because he was going to court for a possession charge. And yes his warrant is for missing court over that possession so he does have a warrant for possession. All you will achieve by this is throw homeless people in harms way. You want to know why those homeless camps can be dangerous? Because their tired of people like who who don’t care what the police do, as long as we get our fucking way right? You’re what is wrong with society. I have no issues with you seeking out family but those locations should never just be out on a public post. As well as careful visiting the camps posted here. I’ll PM some basic spots for you but they stay between us alright? Imma also give you a number for a local sober living office so you can call them and ask if maybe they have seen him.
