HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Two 14-year-old boys who disappeared from Homestead, Florida, on Wednesday have been found safe.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said they were searching for Franklin Cruz, 14, and Xavier Pile-Kittle, 14, who were last seen in the 320th block of Northwest 3rd Avenue in Homestead.
Officials described Cruz as a white-Hispanic male who is 5 ft 8 inches and 150 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a black and grey True Religion hoodie, black pants, and black and grey Nike Air Max shoes.
Pile-Kittle is described as a Black male who is 6 ft 1 inch and 160 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a black hoodie, black pants and black Crocs.
FDLE said they canceled the missing child alert Wednesday afternoon and said both teens were found safe.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
