A Mother’s Plea - Answered

A week after he left home, a Loganville woman's 15-year-old son was located by the Loganville Police Department.

A week after he left home, the 15-year-old son of well-known Loganville resident and founder of Operation Love From Home, Kat Orr, was located by the  Friday.

Jacob Forker was found not far from Orr's home in Loganville and taken into police custody. The teen had been in trouble recently and will have to answer to the juvenile courts before being allowed to return to his home. However, since he is a juvenile and authorities are not at liberty to comment on any cases involving a specific juvenile, no further information will be available from the LPD. Orr gave out the name and photo of her son in an effort to solicit help in finding him. She said she is very relieved he has been found and is grateful to the community for their support.

"I want to thank everyone in the community for their kind words of support, prayers and well-wishes during this very scary and difficult time," Orr said. "I especially want to thank Detective Wesley Massey, Lt. Joseph Cantrell, and the entire Loganville Police Department for their hard work, total dedication, and patience with a frantic and petrified mother. Our church, H, likewise carried us through this very rough week with unparallelled, amazing amounts of support and prayer!  Thanks and much love to everyone."
