"We're doing the routine things we do when we have runaway juveniles – call their friends and check places they frequent," Jenny Fulton, spokeswoman for Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, told CBS4 earlier on Saturday. "This one could put public in danger. You've got a 13 year old and a 14 year old and somebody is driving a vehicle."
