A 15-year-old boy with a drug problem tried to turn himself in for stealing a truck [full story from Warren Elly]. But he was turned away, along with the very truck he said he stole. Now, James Robertson hasn't been seen since last Tuesday, and his parents just want their son home safe.

Here is some of what they had to say to FOX 13:

Mike Robertson, father:

"I'm real disappointed with the system...we're just flabbergasted with what happened."

"The public is not really safe with a 15-year-old out there driving around in a vehicle with no driver's license."

"My first concern is for his safety. What happens if an officer sees him in the truck -- which has expired tags, by the way -- will he try to run? Will he do the right thing and pull over? And if he does run, will he get hurt will he hurt somebody else? That's a major concern."

Maria Robertson, mother:

"I think it's pretty horrible that there's a lot of kids like James out there that need help and they're not getting it. They're just turning them loose back on the streets...no help whatsoever, and it happens every day. I know it happens every day"

"James is a good kid, he just hooked up with the wrong people at school and that's where he was introduced to drugs."

"Because the state of Florida didn't do its job, my son is out there. I don't know if he's alive or if he's hurt or where he's at because somebody didn't do their job right."

"Something needs to be done because I don't want another kid like James to walk in that place and they do the same that they did to my son. Something needs to be done about the juvenile system."

Shawn Robertson, brother:

"Maybe he had remorse and tried to do the right thing, and they sent him on his way. And now it's tearing my family apart."
