CHARLESTON, S.C. — Police in South Carolina say an 11-year-old boy took his brotherโs car and drove alone for three hours to meet someone he met on Snapchat.
Charleston Police spokesman Charles Francis says the boy pulled up to an officer around 12:30 a.m. Monday and said he was lost.
Francis says the boy told the officer he took his brother’s car and was heading to Charleston from 200 milesย away in Simpsonville to live with a man he met on Snapchat. But the tablet computer lost the GPS signal and the manโs address and he couldnโt get it back because the Snapchat message had disappeared.
Francis said in a statement the officer called the boyโs father, who was in the process of reporting him missing.
Francis says the tablet computer is being analyzed as the investigation continues.
