Proof that your 22-year old kid doesn't need to phone in to be safe.

(06-26) 09:30 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- A San Francisco man reported missing last week was found safe Monday night, his family said.

Evan Flanary, 22, hadn't been seen since June 19, when he went to meet up with a stranger he had met over a social-networking app.

Flanary's mother, Deborah Berlingeri, reported him missing Friday. Late Monday, she posted an update on her Facebook page that said he had seen media reports of the search and called her.

"He had met a person, they hit it off fabulously, they were downtown enjoying all the week's festivities," the post said. "The battery in his cell phone died and although he had a charger, it just wouldn't take the charge. He never noticed the flyers, but (Monday) he saw his image on a television screen and could NOT believe it."

This time it is true, but so many times it's not.

Please don't encourage people to be less concerned about anyone of any age that usually checks in and then disappears after meeting up with a stranger.

There are still a few pay phones around.

He could of borrowed a cell phone, he must have been having fun not to call.
