Thank you for keeping Justin in the eye of the media. Channel 11 has been wonderful!!! Maybe the right person will see and help bring Justin home! P.U.S.H

Selling bracelets to help fund what our tax dollars are already paying for? LOL There's a sucker born every minute!

[Unfortunately]

Tax payers money has not been put to use here. The young man had just turned 18 and the law states they can do little to investigate a simply missing person. The family has gotten little help from the local or state or federal law in searching for their son. You know how much fliers to hand out...500 in this case cost? The family is left to try to keep the word out that their son is missing.

And please remember this is from the same area that the monster Gary Hilton spent time in. You know the monster who killed one young girl and is suspected as a serial killer? Think before you laugh and type.

Deacon your tax dollars do not market Justin Gaines, that is what his parents are paying for and why we are raising money, your tax dollars have not funded one single search, it has been the community doing them, so those people you are calling suckers are the ones out there helping Erika market her son. Deacon it is not cheap to have a child go missing, I pray you never have to endure it, but if you do us suckers will be right there for you if you ask.

Channel 11 you guys are great Thank you for your hand in helping find Justin.

You are really starting with the wrong group!! First I agree with you on one part. Our tax dollars should be used for this but...that is not the case and if a family doing whatever they can to come up with the money to do what the government should be doing makes them a sucker I want to be creme soda flavored. And maybe you haven't ever had to worry about a loved one for months. Wandering if they were dead or alive. And if they were alive are they hungry or cold? But you know what I say to that I guess there is a self centered rude pompass a$$ born every minute to. So should I call you Mr or Mrs A$$?

TO DEACON - why don't you call yourself something that really fits - like "disgusting", for instance.

There are several RUDE and CRASS posters who hail from Ooltewah TN. I don't know if it is the same person posting under several different aliases or if it is several different people.

If it is several different people, there must be something in the water at Ooltewah because I have yet to read a decent post from anyone who lives there!

I live in the Gwinett area and have seen the flyers, but it occurs to me that while I knew quite a bit about the Emerson case, I really don't know that much about this one. Is there a website available with current information?

For whatever reason, if a missing person is a male, the situation never seems to garner as much attention as it would if the victim were female. Same applies to those involving attractive vs unattractive, rich vs poor, accomplished/well known vs those of us who are not.

Emersons case really touched me, but so does this situation. He's been gone for so long. If this were my brother I'd have to be sedated. When the story 1st came out some posters acted like it wasn't important because of where he was when he went missing. That's some of the most ridiculous crap I've ever read.

All missing persons cases should be treated equally but for some reason certain situations just seem to pull at America's heatstrings more. I hope the family's efforts pay off, the authorities keep this case as a high priority and that the media keeps us posted.

www.justingaines.com and www.scangwinnett.com both have information.

Have the friends of this young man started cooperating and giving any information they have? I ask because in an earlier report it indicated they weren't talking.

I am so glad that this was able to bring new people who were not aware of Justin's story to view it. The more eyes and ears that are out there the better. The authorities however do not have this in high priority and that is why we are trying so hard to help this family. The more communities that ban together to stop these evil people from being able to take our children the better our chances of bringing Justin home. If you see something strange anywhere and you fear someone is in danger...call 911. And tell them what is going on and then tell them you will wait and watch till someone actually gets there. It is more likely to be looked into if you stay nearby to confirm them doing so.

There have been no clues. Noone is coming forward with anything. That is why no detail that anyone may have saw is to small.

I wish that the person(s) who know of Justin's whereabouts would call the tip-line and let them know where he is, that person does not even have to give their name or anything like that.
Justin's family needs to know where he is !!!

[AlphaMOM]

We all have to have faith and hope that he is coming HOME! He has a wonderful loving family that is waiting on him! We have to keep talking about him and keep looking! We all can do something!! We can!! Forward his web-site to everyone in your e-mail contacts! Have friends and family post his beautiful face at work and keep on talking about him!! Write the media! All the talk shows...Donate money, if you do not have money...Give your time, PRAY!!! The web-site for Justin is www.Justingaines.com !
Send that URL to everyone! I have personally spoke to his mom Erika. She is in agony..All she wants is her baby! Everyone one of us can bring something to this family! Please find it in your heart to help us find this precious child! We still have time!

[Snellville Mom]

As I started to read these comments, when I got to Deacon's response, I wanted to slap him! Thanks all of you for correcting the ignorant folks.
Justin has been gone too long, and it's my wish that his family at least find out what happened so they can find some kind of closure.
Justin, if you are out there, please come home. There are so many still praying for you!

[Just Peachy]

If his family is so wonderful and loving, why didn't he call them for a ride? He was a product of the typical BS American family and his actions prove as much. One less drunk punk breathing my air.
