A long time ago I had a family member who had a teenage son out of control. He ran away, he stole stuff, he skipped school constantly. My family-member-who-shall-remain-unnamed told the school to call her if her son was not in school. They did not, so she being the ever persistent and wonderful mom she is took off to the school and then proceeded to search the woods behind it, past the ghetto housing for her kid. She found him, several times. I wonder if we'd looked into these Wilderness Programs Formats and Types would it have helped?
