  1. That is why I want to find my homeless son and bring him home. I will pay for all of his expenses. He has Parkinson’s and does not think he is wanted. He is a good person. He just has an illness. His name is Akeem Maurice Cox Jones. Please don’t hurt him. I am his conservator.

    • Lancaster isn’t safe at any time, Ace. East Lancaster, Ave. I corridor, Division, the BLVD. Avoid like the plague.

      • I agree! Lancaster, CA., is not safe at any time. So many mean, heartless there. Not a place for the lost, the loving or God’s people. Son, if you see this post, please call home if you remember the number or leave a message on FB. somebody in the family will see it. I don’t FB.

  4. This hit and run epidemic is awful. But lawmakers aren’t blameless in this problem either. That’s because accidents don’t happen anymore! Every kind of mishap is a serious crime now so no wonder nobody stops. And if lawmakers insist on doing it this way, they better understand that most people that flee are never identified.
