An anonymous tip to Harris County Precinct 2 led deputies to a 17-year-old runaway living with a registered sex offender.
Investigators say the suspect, 70-year-old Michael Williams, knew the teen was a runaway and picked him up from Bellville, Texas.
Precinct 2 deputies say the juvenile was safely removed from a potentially dangerous situation and credit the anonymous tip for the quick arrest, urging the public to "see something, say something."

"I believe the parents or whoever is in charge of the group home said, 'I don't want you here no more,' so the male juvenile went to work, made a phone call, got picked up and left," said Sgt. Estrada.
"As a reasonable adult, you should know to report this to law enforcement, given that he is missing and someone is looking for him," he said.

He was forced into a group home by CPS, got kicked out of that group home, and after the events, they're pretending they were looking for him?

Yeah, it sounds like 'investigators' took this young man away from his safe haven, and delivered him straight back into the hands of whoever was mistreating him. Sounds like, if CPS was involved, this young man had been treated badly, and the 'sex offender' was the only one to show him some kindness.
^And for any creatives here, this would be a great story idea about a 'protective' society that treats kids far worse than the MAPs everyone is so afraid of.
