(KXNET) – A 12-year-old boy from Belcourt has been missing for nearly two months.
Abrium Swain disappeared from the Turtle Mountain Child Welfare Shelter on March 15.
Family members say he ran away from the shelter that morning, briefly returned to the shelter the same day, then ran away again and hasn’t been seen since.
Abrium is described as five feet tall, about 170 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He is American Indian.
Relatives say Abrium’s mother is deceased and his father’s whereabouts are unknown.
His most recent guardian said Abrium was placed with Turtle Mountain Child Welfare just a few weeks before he disappeared, and believes he may still be in the Belcourt area or in Devils Lake.
Family members say they are very concerned for his safety.
