Trying to cover all bases I log onto Buster's AOL AIM Account as him. Here's what popped up.
NeddyTeddy: who is this?
BustaJohn: John's Dad
NeddyTeddy: I thought so
BustaJohn: really worried
NeddyTeddy: Me too
NeddyTeddy: I'm sorry you have to worry so much
BustaJohn: I know he's hurting, but this isn't a good way to go about things
NeddyTeddy: I told him this
NeddyTeddy: and he went and did it anyway
NeddyTeddy: I'm sorry, I love him very much, but this was a stupid move..
BustaJohn: how long had he been planning it?
NeddyTeddy: I don't know
NeddyTeddy: He had mentioned it lightly
BustaJohn: I think he just snapped the other night
NeddyTeddy: And I told him "That's a stupid idea"
NeddyTeddy: Yeah not coming back was.. a good snapper
BustaJohn: would he go to Seattle?
BustaJohn: he didn't take any money
NeddyTeddy: I dunno... he said he liked his friends in Seattle
NeddyTeddy: That's all I really know..
BustaJohn: well thanks
BustaJohn: If you hear from him please let me know
BustaJohn: just want to know that he's alright
BustaJohn: who is this?
NeddyTeddy: Michelle
NeddyTeddy: Sorry
NeddyTeddy: lol
NeddyTeddy: I coulda said somethin
NeddyTeddy: >.<
BustaJohn: thanks
NeddyTeddy: No problem.. I'll keep my ears open for anything
BustaJohn: Call my cell number
BustaJohn: later
NeddyTeddy: All right, any time is a good time?
NeddyTeddy: No wait?
BustaJohn: ANYTIME
NeddyTeddy: Okay
NeddyTeddy: Later

Hang in there Tom.
This is a bold move for Busta - growing, pushing, trying to see what he is capable of. Becoming an adult. Such a shame that its hurting you so much.
Things will work out. Keep the faith buddy.

All my love is with you, Tom. He will come home.

Hey Tom,
Fellow parent of teen boys here -
I do understand a bit of what you're going through - My older son left home angry this last summer - he was 18 and had just graduated so it was different, but the same in that it was his anger that motivated him and it wasn't a clean, happy goodbye - he had no where to go and was staying with friends and sleeping in his 85 jetta - we didn't know where he was for a couple weeks.
I know things are different with your situation: Buster is younger, and not as well connected in the area - I don't think your concerns or fears aren't justified, but chances are he isn't inflicting too much discomfort on himself. His biggest problem right now is probably figuring out a way to come back without compromising his pride.
Has the school worked with you on identifying any social network of friends he may be relying on?
Keep his IM account logged in and you may be able to chat with others who have been in contact with him.
Just to let you know, I have been checking with his myspace list too.
