I wrote this article. The follow up to this story is that the kid who informed us was able to get enough reward money that he was able to relocate his entire family out of the region. Good that he was able to move to safety, but unfortunate that we lost another ally in the area. Hopefully he will work with the troops in whatever area he relocates to.
Thank you for that clarifican on the youth’s situation.
