Sauk County Officials Advise Against Taking In Runaway Children

Sauk County Crime Stoppers are reminding the public that anyone who takes a runaway in should immediately notify law enforcement. This reminder comes after 13-year-old James Yoblonski went missing near Devil’s Lake last Monday. He has been missing for over a week. Crime Stoppers states if the person who takes a child into their home knows or “reasonably should know” that the child is a runaway, they should call the police or the appropriate county department. Anyone who doesn’t immediately notify law enforcement is guilty of a class C misdemeanor. Anonymous tips can be submitted online. Anonymous tips can also be left by calling 888-TIP-SAUK.
