Evan Trembley ISN'T Missing
Wednesday September 5, 2007
Pay no heed to the emailed "Amber Alert" seeking information on the whereabouts of missing teen Evan Trembley (also spelled "Evan Tremblay"). The 15-year-old resident of Wichita Falls, Texas has admitted creating the alert himself to amuse his friends. Police are investigating the prank but say it's unlikely charges will be filed.

I just got an email about this boy missing. I can tell you right now, if my son pulled a prank like this I’d ground him for life! Luckly, my 15 year old son wouldn’t stoop that low. It takes a sad teen to create a hoax like THIS!!!!
I also just received this e-mail and forwarded it to nearly all in my address book. Thankfully one of the friends I forwarded the message to, heard about the hoax and fowarded me this link. Hopefully the young man learns a lesson. He should relate back to the story “the boy who cried wolf.”
I have one word for this boy….
LOSER!!!!
I have also recieved this e-mail but knew right off the bat it was a fake….I always check this site first though before I forward these types of e-mails. I really hate these “fake” missing kid forwards because I feel it takes away from those kids that are really missing. so sad
yall need to learn. none of yall know me but you talk like you are god or something judging me, you DO NOT know me at all, you cant tell me im a loser or that this was stooping low. shoot your son couldn’t pull something like this off. im not bragging im just saying…its frustrating hearing you people talk when you have no clue.
No young man, you need to learn that what you did was serious. You are right, we don’t know you. However when caring people get something like this in their mail, they immediatley feel badly for the parents of the child who is presumably missing. Obviously people do care, or there would not be an amber alert site, and literally thousands of people would not be passing information along. Rather than defending your irresponsible actions, you should be apologizing for needlessly worrying so many caring people.
Jackass.
Learn your manners young man, check your attitude and learn how to punctuate. You sound ridiculous, and your actions reflect that!
This is a sensless prank by a boy who meant no harm. But drunk drivers don’t mean harm either, and they create havoc….maybe we should teach our youngsters what a “prank” really means.
There needs to be consequences for his action so that others will be deterred. What happens when it is real and people now just hit delete.
I agree… He is an imature A-hole and makes the “children’s” story the boy who cried wolf more real. Only difference is, when it IS real and happening to someone else, it is NOT a joke.
Between four and five decades ago, I learned what “prank” meant: a warmed-up backside that stung from ONE well-placed flat-of-the-hand smack by one parent/teacher. Was that child abuse? Hardly! It was a great lesson and one that, as you can see, I still remember vividly. There was no injury, other than to my childish pride, but you know what? I never pulled another prank! Correct discipline delivered swiftly without a barrage of cusswords (or that interminable “discipline” that “parents” use, such as, “If you do that One More Time, I’m gonna …”) is just that: correct discipline. Evan Trembley, you got the attention you sought. Now take a look at the real missing kids and their frantic parents, friends and relatives and consider how blessed you are to be a Hoax on the Internet and not a real Missing Kid. Consider that this can be a real lesson in growing up and becoming a responsible adult. You’re going to be an adult in body soon, but the adult in mind may take a bit longer. It often does. Just take this as a sign that, yes, you’re still a kid, but a very blessed one, indeed, to not be actually one of those missing and really in trouble.
I’m glad I checked this out before it went any further. I will be notifying all who sent it to me.
Evan,
Some jokes aren’t funny, this is one of them. I’m sure people who really do have children missing received this email, also. Can you imagine the painful emotions it stirred up in them? It wasn’t just another forwarded email.
Please, learn from your mistake and never do anything so cruel again. You never know when such a tragedy could be a reality in your family. I’m sure you wouldn’t find any humor in this type of prank if there was a child you cared about, or an adult for that matter, that truelly was missing. I only hope you never have to experience such a horrible thing in your life.
Next time you want to do something “for fun”, stop and think about it. If could hurt or upset anyone, it isn’t fun, so don’t do it.
Sadly our society must pry on the hearts of others for thier entertainment. Hopefully Evan will never experience the anguish felt if/when his own child vanishes even for a moment from his sight. That is, if God blesses him with such a gift such as children at all.
Hey,
Give the kid a break. The older generation must not understand how the teens and tweens of this century play a joke. I’m sure it was just an honest prank gone bad. Cut him some slack and stop being so uptight. He’s just a kid!
Hello- this is Evan’s mom…. It really upsets me to be reading everybody slandering my child. It was a Bulletin on his mypace that was sent to his friends. One of his friends made it into an email and began forwarding it- Evan is sorry that is become such a big deal but by the time he took off of his myspace the damage was done. He originally posted it in mid- July and removed it with in 24 hours when he realized what was happening. I apologize to everyone who has been upset by this and appreciate all the caring people. What about all the people though are now being cruel to Evan… Thank you Duane – Evan is kid and kids make mistakes, so do aduls. Evan is a very kind, caring helpful person. The only reason people tear other people down is to make themselves feel better. I hope you all feel better.
Tammy, thank you for your input. I’m sure Evan has learned something valuable from his mistake and will heed the sound advice offered him. I have no doubt he truly feels sorry for how this got out of hand. I forgive him.
Easy to tell it is a prank when it said “overseas like Canada and South America” neither of which, last I heard, was overseas from here…..
From reading Tammy Trembley’s rambling excuses for her son’s actions, it is easy to see why he did what he did. The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Quit blaming other people Ms. Trembley, and teach your son to take responsibility for his criminal behavior.
When will people learn? 90% of what you read on the web is pure BS. All those political trashings of (pick a politian) All the tear jerk stories like this one. Mostly junk. A simple Google of Evan showed the hoax.
Wake up folks. Stop being sheep who blindly forward everything like it’s gospel.
Evan, You need a new hobby, like try going to school and learning proper English. This is not funny when a child is really missing and others received an email it was simply get deleted because of hoax’s going around like this.
evan i can understand that you didn’t mean any harm but harm was done so you should be apologizing instead of defending yourself and hipefully you’ll friends as well as you as you that what you do and don’t do affects everyone around you
How could someone do this. We are going to be so immune to these amber alerts – that when a real one comes along – we won’t take it seriously. I feel terrible for the families that have really lost a child and then see this crap. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME…..
HEAR! HEAR! PETE!!
YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.
It seems as though Evan gets to do whatever he wants without any consequences. It is a real shame that there are REAL missing kids out there that may never get the attention that they deserve because of “pranks” like this. Instead of mom making excuses for him she should be making him apologize. It is obvious that you pay no attention to what your son is doing on his Myspace. Shame on you mom!
It’s a shame to hear what some kids actually do these days I’m a kid right now but I would never go that low for attention, my dad would beat my ass THEN kick me out of the house. If he’s doing this kinda of stuff its like a cry for help like he’s being abused (ignored) or something at home. (there’s a thing called a therapist for those kinda of things) and “MOMMY” shouldnt be apologizing for him he should do it personally on the news in front of everyone for the people he worried and for the people he made mad for the children who are missing.
This was a terrible hoax!!!! Grow up MOM!!!! There is no excuse for what he did.
i just got an email and sent it to everyone i knew it took me forever but i mean it’s not like he really waqnted this to happen it just did. so give him a break. my brother pulled a prank one time and turned it into a huge deal but he didn’t mean it
Poor little Evan! I think he needs a reward for being so abused! How about a new iPhone, or a new truck or a ski trip? Or maybe some new clothes from Abercrombie? Hey! How about a haircut! Or just a good arse whoopin’
I have been sitting here reading the comments you people have written to this boy and his mother and WOW so many of you are so quick to judge. I know what he did was wrong but in retrospect was it really that bad?? People send out emails on a daily basis that are hoax. They don’t get ridiculed. He and his mother are being verbally abused by you all for what he thought was a harmless prank. Did he really do anything WRONG?? Did his actions really hurt anyone? It DID cause a lot of senseless email but how many do we get on a daily basis anyway??? Yes, caring people began to pray, but God knew he was safe…caring people also began to worry, but a few minutes of research on the web showed it to be hoax, so did he really HURT anyone?? You people are calling him names and saying hateful hurtful things about this 15 year old boy you don’t even know and judging his mothers parenting skills, I think you are causing more damage then his little prank.
Well, that’s just my 2 cents take it or leave it!
So so sad that some people these days apper to have no moral compass…It does “hurt” people (i’m referring to the last entry that said it doesn’t. What it hurts are the real children who are missing like Maddie McCann…..I’m always amused by people who defend actions such as this (again, the last entry here) Those people should have to endure the pain of a real missing child and then try to defend his actions for causing such a scene.
you people make me laugh. theres lots of people i agree with on here. and its obvious which ones they are. look if it hurt anybody to click forward in their email, im sorry. and maybe you should go see a doctor or something. you should stop and think and dont adapt to the internet culture so easy that when an email says forward to ten people or you will die at midnight you dont think twice about forwarding it. come on grow up. like i said you dont know me, you dont know anything about what happened. how many of you have gotten all up and arms about any other email youve gotten. just because im the only person youve found out about who started one you jump all over me for every other email you have gotten. gain a brain, and dont follow everybody else. aagahaag;ih;lkcfdw..
punctuation.
I think that the critical posts about Evan and his mom are going way overboard. Evan did not send out an e-mail to thousands of people … he posted something for his FRIENDS to read on his myspace page. Someone else sent the info on to others.
Do any of you who are so critical, have teenage or young adult sons? My husband and I have raised two boys with fairly strict, old-fashioned standards and morals. At ages 21 and 19 they are successful, happy, respectful college students with lots of friends, but I could imagine them posting a similar prank on myspace. Remember, Evan posted this for his friends to read, he did not send it out to others! It may have been insensitive to those whose children really are missing, but it was not meant for their eyes.
Evan and Tammy, I’m sorry you have to put up with the insults.
The only people that irritate me in all this are the people on my address list that forward this crap to my email address before checkig the hoax sites.
Sorry for all the crap you’re getting Evan.
Hang in there.. Just think, it will be a funny story to tell when you’re sitting around at 80 years old and telling all your old buddies about this one time when you were young.
Don’t know all of the details of this but as a mother….. I am grateful it is a HOAX!! Thank God you are all right and all I need to do is delete the email.
Chin up my friend we ALL have been in situations that have gotten out of control.
—God loves you and you were already forgiven by the one whom matters.
This is ridiculous…….to think I just emailed this to Germany!! WELL EVAN, YOU WANTED ATTENTION YOU GOT IT, NEXT TIME GET A PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!
yeah people’s kids who are missing must have felt horrible when they go this but like i said earlier give him a break
this is so stupid get over it evan got his attention and is going to pay the price for what he has done so stop beating him up about it don’t you think he feels bad enough for what he has done?
Evan, I know you are a teenager who knows everything there is to know about everything, but one word of advice: Learn how to spell, punctuate, and make complete sentences before you post anymore comments. You are only making yourself look even more foolish, and I didn’t think that was possible. Mom, you should be so proud.
Kids going missing is not a joke. When people are mention the world bomb at an airport they get arrested. I think the same should be done to these pranksters. It my sound harsh but we need them to know it’s just not funny no matter how old you are.
What a little jerk-I forwarded this to a million people and rec’d it from an e-mail that was attached to a bunch of people too-Evan should be beaten to death for pulling a prank when there are so many kids out there missing. Not funny.
I am so embarassed. I made sure I sent
this e-mail to everyone I knew in all the States so it would get circulated well, all over the country & to think this is a hoax. How can anyone
defend his action? Hope it teaches him a lesson. This is not funny! Myself, I will think twice before I send another Alert around. I should have known from the picture and age! I’m the dummy! Mom, you’ll be defending his bad behavior the rest of his life! Shame on you.
Evan & Mom,
If you don’t want to know about all the negative, critical comments, don’t visit the site & read them. Both of you are prime examples of blaming someone else rather than taking RESPONSIBILITY for your own actions.
I just received this email and I was considering forwarding it to everyone I know. Luckily, I decided to Google him first. I understand that Evan just posted this on myspace as a joke for his friends, but what makes him think that jokes about missing children are funny? With all the horrible things happening in this world, child abduction is a real fear for parents. It is not a subject to be taken lightly or joked about. I can appreciate that Evan had no intentions of it going this far, but it did. Maybe if he were even somewhat apologetic or remorseful for his actions, people would not be so judgmental. I just hope that people don’t start disregarding Amber Alerts because of such ignorance.
I was shocked, confused, bewildered as I entered Heaven’s door.
Not by the beauty of it all, nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven who made me sputter and gasp–
the thieves, the liars, the sinners, the alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought was rotting away in hell,
was sitting pretty on cloud nine, looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, “What’s the deal? I would love to hear Your take.
How’d all these sinners get up here? God must’ve made a mistake.
“And why’s everyone so quiet, so somber – give me a clue.”
“Hush, child,” He said, “they’re all in shock. No one thought they’d be seeing you.” JUDGE NOT.
Evan, why dont you give out the name of the kid who did the first forward of your fake alert. That’ll have everyone judge them instead.
Hey guys, anyone who puts the words my son/daughter would never….. in any sentence is living in a dream world or has never raised children. The first thing I do when I see one of these is check it out. There are so many sad and selfish people pulling pranks like this you have to check. Sad but true.
Missing children is NO joke Mr. Evan Trembley.
Evan just remember even if the police or your parents don’t punish you its about Karama Baby! Sometime in your life someone will do to you, what you have done today.
There should be charges. Community service? He took a great tool to help suffering people and turned into something no one will trust now. He didn’t have one thought for the children lost. Instead, he helped cut them off from help.
I agree that kids will do childish things, but at 15, that should be old enough to know just by how many ‘missing’ reports are out there that turn into ‘murders’ when it’s all said and done. I ALWAYS google before I send anything. Even if he didn’t send it to others, the previous posts DID say he posted it on Myspace. Is EVERYONE on his friends list personal friends that he has met in person? I doubt that given today’s technology and from everything I have seen on Myspace. I have one friend that took over his brother’s account once he passed away, to make an online memorial of him. So did everyone on his Myspace that was able to view the site know it was a prank, and was it posted in an area that is not accessible to anyone except his friends? If he did set everything so that only his friends could view the page, then it was just a very bad prank on his part. But the posts I have seen from him so far indicates that he doesn’t see anything at all wrong in his part in it, which indicates to me that he’s either just not very bright, or he is spoiled enough that he doesn’t think he can do any wrong. Even with googling, do you think that the people who catch the “hoaxes” will just suddenly know? It actually takes a while for people to catch it and report it for it to be posted. In the meantime, that email could be sent all over the world. Even with the internet not being that reliable, when people’s emotions get involved, alot of the time people will not look too closely before they send these hoaxes. Would you expect a family member to really be thinking properly if they have a family member that is missing? I just think this was in really poor taste with no actual thought to what being human is really about.
I think for all the energy we have put forth towards this ridiculous prank we could have sent prayers out for the real missing people and their distraught families. Evan you got my attention Now give me yours. You made a stupid choice that you probably never intended to get this out of hand but it did, and because of those stupid choices the are consequense. You have to know that everything happens for a reason and a lesson to be learned. I think right you have an oppurtunity to learn many lessons such as compassion, integrety, remorse those are just a few but if you could step back and really look at the impact you had and the hurt you caused to so many you could only benifit as a person. Remember, for every negative there is a positive. Evan turn your negative into a positive. step up to the plate , own accountablity for your choice and a simple true apology wwithout any defensiveness could change alot of peoples opinions . through that you can learn what it feels like to be humble. And Evan, when you do become the man you so desperately would like to be, I only hope you can look back and realize how stupid you really were. Everyone… today is 9/11 please send a prayer out for all of those families and friends who lost so much. Thanks
Was the “prank” funny? No. But is every single person who simply forwarded it on quite possibly the stupidest people who ever lived? Absolutely. YOU ARE ALL SHEEP!!!! LEARN TO USE YOUR FLIPPIN BRAIN!!! Come on. Is everyone REALLY that flippin stupid that they don’t know a chain email when they see one? I received the email, and within 5 seconds, a simple google search showed that it was a hoax. All of you SHEEP need to get one simple fact through your head. It’s not that kid’s fault that these email spread. IT’S YOURS!!! WAKE UP and USE YOUR BRAIN! I swear, it doesn’t hurt, and you will thank me for it later.
Okay, I get that it was intended as a joke, and I’m sure Evan and his friends found it rather funny. Unfortunately it got out of Evan’s circle of friends and has affected everyone who has read the email. Can we get over it? Of course, no big deal. But the problem I have now is that in reading these posts, Evan has come on here and showed absolutely no remorse for the negative impact his actions have had on the caring people who forwarded the email. If he had just said “I’m sorry, it was meant as a joke and I never intended to have it distributed to people I didn’t know.” I think we all would have understood. Instead both he and his mother have posted here and neither one seems very apologetic. Evan and Tammy, I’m sorry you have been upset by what people have written here, but you have to understand that those kind of emails tug at our heartstrings and make us want to reach out to people we don’t know to try and help and when we find out that we have been fooled into feeling that way it is hard not to be hurt. It doesn’t mean that Evan is a bad kid, or that Tammy is a bad mother. I hope that we can all learn things from this. To the people who forwarded the email, you did a good thing and your heart was in the right place.
where is your mother mr.?
AMEN BETTY!!!!
Why would anyone think this is funny? Evan and Tammy, the reason people pass this on so fast, because if it is a missing child, time is of the essance! If you ever had to deal with this on a personal level you might understand that the sooner news gets out the better it can be. I was not aware you could google this and find out if it is true or not, but now I know! They at least, should have to do community service at some missing children’s site. Then maybe they would understand why everyone got upset. Evan nor his mother sound remorseful, if they offered an apology, then the comments might be different. Oh and thank you Amy, I did say a prayer for 911 victims and there families and also for everything I have to be thankful for. I hope everyone will remember and take your advise!!! Thanks and God Bless America!
Wow, lots of uptight people. But he is cute
Wouldn’t it be ironic if he or one of the friends he was tryin to amuse did go missing and nobody cared? Gotta watch crying wolf.
Evans Mother,
I understand that you are defending your child. You know him better than anyone else and you will always see his side first. But what gets me, even though I know he is young and his maturity is not that of an adult, he did not respond in a way that explained to everybody what happened, instead of acting hateful to everyones reaction. I just recieved this email from a fellow church member. It was emailed to possibly hundreds of other members with the click of one button. I understand mistakes, I understand humor. I have four children of my own. But, the bottom line is that this should have never been created in the first place, even as a joke. The biggest problem for all of us? He shows no remorse, and neither did you or you wouldnt be justifying it.
Amber alerts are generally not chain emails. If everyone would take the time to research email chains before hitting the forward button situations like this would not happen. Bottom line, no one was hurt (that includes those of you thinking others with missing children were hurt because of this, as they are probably hurt by their children who are missing… duh) and no one will be hurt because of it.
Well, I think that if anyone who is foolish enough to fall for these forward messages deserves the grief they get. When ever any one of my friends sends me something that says, “Send this to every one you know!” I hop on line, find a site that disproves the message and attach that to the forward, and then I send it out to all my friends. See, I never believe something like that is true till I see proof that it is. Others should stop wining like children for falling for such pranks and practice my way of dealing with things. See, getting angry at Evan would cause me stress, and I don’t need that over something so trivial. And plus, look at it from his point of view. Just about every one in the country has his picture with his name and where he lives. That’s creepy! I feel sorry for Evan, not the loser who didn’t check their facts before getting all worked up over a forward.
this is the last comment im going to post. it is mostly in reposonse to the last one (number 58). this is the story i usually tell people when they ask in person. and i know yall think im stupid or something because of the way i type…but its TYPING. i guess you dont know how people talk on aim or facebook or what ever. so once again you dont know me, quit judging.
i was on myspace and i was bored and just chillin. and i opened up a bulletin from one of my friends that was the ashley flores email (go to snopes.com and search ashley flores) so as another joke from quite a while agot with another friend where in all the myspace surveys i did to kill time i would change the names to my name and she caught that one time and i jokingly told her it was my plan to “take over myspace”.
so anywyas i got that bulletin and changed all the main information liek name, city, age,phone number to my personal stuff along with a new email i made. i posted that thinking that any human with a brain stem would see that it came from my profile and i was online and talking to people and it was obviously fake. but some genious decided to not only repost it as a bulletin but turn it into an email and send it to eeeeeverybody he knows, and so did the people he sent it to. and so on. (once again its the freaking internet, i know my english, so shut up) so the next day my mom wakes me up pretty early (it was during the summer) and tells em to take it off, that my dads friends had seen it and thought it was real. so i posted another bulletin saying it was fake.
this one didnt spread so fast.
for about a month the email had died down, then in late august it rose back up, and i was getting calls repeatedly, from all over the place. including my local news team. they did a story on me (which was mostly true) and i thought that wopuld keep the calls down more, btu ti didnt help a lot. so the calls kept coming. we 86′ed the phone line.
i checked the email, a snopes.com writer emailed me, i told them what happened and they saw the news story, and wrote.
that helped though, and bloggers got a hold of it, and told everybody their opinion. then people commented it and told their opinion.
so before you say anything, i didnt do this for attention, i didnt hurt anybody, i was genuinly curious of the effects in a kind of scientific matter, it was very well planned out and has gone according to the plan.
you DO NOT know me so you shouldnt be judging me.
another funny thing that is pretty off topic is that in speech class today we learned the ‘7 deadly sins’ of listening…like the 7 ways to be a bad listener. and we had to give an example of each of them, all of my examples came from this thread.
so dont worry i wont see you later.
im not concerned about it anymore, you can go read my blog if i did happen to miss anything i update it pretty often now.

later haters.
what a total jerk……..i hope i never hear about this kind of stuff again
I am amazed that even after reading Evan’s latest post, someone still needs to post that he’s a jerk. It’s quite evident that not just Evan, but his entire family have lived with the consequences of his actions. I cannot even call it a prank, because it wasn’t. The kid who picked it up and ran with it is the prankster.
Take the advice: google instead of simply passing these emails on blindly. It takes about 30 seconds and will really not hurt the cause of a genuine situation where time is of the essence.
Let’s face it, in a real calamity it is the people who keep their heads that make the difference, not those who react emotionally with no thought.
Evan, do not worry about what some of these cruel folks are saying!! Everyone has made and will continue to make foolish choices in life. I understand you were joking with your friends, one of your friends was joking around by sending it out as an email, and then the ‘internet world’ scooped it up and on from there!! Evan, just know that you are not a horrible person……just someone who has learned a valuable lesson in life (to be careful on the internet)!!
To all of you who are posting cruel remarks….think about some of the mistakes you made growing up, or mistakes that your kids made….I am sure each and every one of you can think of a time when you made an error in judgement that could have been circulated like this email that would have caused you frustration….the difference today is the internet, and how fast things can circulate…..Evan and his family have suffered enough, let it be!
This is ridiculous. If he was my son i would make sure the police taught him a lesson….what a brat….
Evan,
I wish you had told that story to begin with. I hope your friend who actually spread this around also reads these messages. Enough is Enough. I hope everyone has a great day and says a prayer for all missing children.
God Bless Us Everyone.
Wow, it’s like most of you have never done anything “wrong” in your life. While I realize that missing children is a very serious subject (i have 3 of my own)… I also realize that kids will be kids. Keep your chin up Evan, and all you other whiners.. calm down, did it really hurt you to hit one little button on your computer?
This is for Evans parents and all parents out there:
This world it out of controll. People think they can say and do as they please and we are all just supposed to shut up and take it. A lot (not all) young people have no respect or morals and really don’t care what they say or who they say it to. It is a sad world we live in today and these kids are our future leaders. God help us all!
Parents should be teaching their kids to make good use of their time, teach them good work ethics and also the proper way to take responsibility when you do make an honest mistake. We have all made mistakes and it does not feel good to be judged by others but parents should be teaching kids lessons from their mistakes not pointing fingers and blaming others. Take you kid down to the local police station and ask them to fill your kid in on how many missing kids there are every year and how many of them are never found and if they are how many are found dead. WHEN YOUR KID MAKES A MISTAKE PLEASE TEACH THEM THE LESSON THEY NEED TO LEARN stop pointing fingers and defending yourself. Go help a neighbor, help feed the hungry and realize their are people suffering and life is not a joke for everyone. Lead your kids by example.
From a fellow Mom
Everyone needs to stop!!!! Don’t you see that you’re giving him exactly what he was looking for in the first place?! More of it than he ever dreamed. Anytime he needs a little attention, all he has to do is log on and get his fill. His plan worked more than he could have hoped. Rather than getting attention from the guys giggling over his sick joke, the entire country is giving him feedback. He knows that the majority of us are against what he did and how his mother chose to handle it. Stop giving him more to feed on. Please. Focus on things going on in the world that are worthy of this much attention. And pray that some other kid isn’t amused by all of this and takes it farther than Evan did. Did you remember what yesterday was? If you did, do you still remember today? I can’t believe that this is what today’s kids do when they get bored…..
You know, people wonder why kids are not found when they are in serious danger. I hope this young man is satisfied that he may have ruined the chances of a real child that is missings chance of comming home safely!!!! This is quite disapointing, and disgusting if you want to get right down to it. I cant see the entertainment in pretending to be missing. GROW UP, remember Karma.
Um, here is my take on it:
1. Yeah it is funny, because people who honestly believe these things are obviously naive. The Gap doesn’t give out free jeans, a taco bell dog won’t cross your screen for forwarding an email, MSN isn’t shutting down, there isn’t some cancer kid in Idaho who gets a nickel for every forwarded email *(he would be a millionaire overnight duh!), Bill Gates isn’t giving away free money or any of the other bogus crap we all get.
2. If you people SERIOUSLY believe that the kid calling himself “evan trembley” on here is the REAL Evan Trembley, then you really do need help…you can choose any name you want when posting a message….DUH! By the way…my name really IS Denise, and it’s obvious people on the net need to get a clue.
It made it to the Cayman Islands
Evan
My problem is that is seem like you haven’t learned anything. I live in South Africa and run an organisation that help the police find endangered missing children. Its a big issue. These emails just got into South African email boxes, I have received over 100 phone calls on my mobile phone asking me if this is true or not. Apart from the time being wasted we know people who spend time to try and find out if its true or not and feel their time was waisted will probably not help next time.
You made a mistake, but if you continue to make excuses then it seem you have learned noting at all.
I can give you a list of children who died the past few months after they were kidnapped in South Africa, from 2 year old Sonja Brown to 11 year old Stacie Wiese. You should think what will be the effect if people do not want to respond because they are afraid it might be a hoax
What makes this so sad, is that we may now be more cautious when a child is REALLY missing! It could hurt others, and helps no one. The act really wasn’t so awful… unless received by a parent who has truly lost a child. Think about it next time.
Denise,
Honestly, how old are you? Um? Duh? Let’s leave serious matters to the adults – you’ll get your chance.
My mom grounded me for a month once. I was out on the streets playing the next day. So much for severe punishments. I went to jail several years later.
There are already tons of comments here but I thought I should say this….
Anybody who threatens to take children for ransom (I have been witness to this) or makes jokes about missing children, should be shot in the head… Its one of the very few things in life that shoud not be joked about.
You know what, what he did wasnt ok, but he didnt kill anyone. He made stupid mistake. Maybe a few of us wasted a little time sending it out. Get a life. I feel for the adults out there that are finding it ok to talk at him and about him the way yall are. AS for his mother she is just defending her child againest the horrible things that yall are saying. Im sure he has been punished. Some of yall need to be punished for thinking it is ok to talk to a child the way yall have been. Yall need to grow up at get a life
It is obvious that Evan just did this to see what would happen (”i didnt do this for attention- i didnt hurt anybody, i was genuinly curious of the effects in a kind of scientific matter, it was very well planned out and has gone according to the plan”
However, he definitely struck a nerve with many people. People are upset because they cared and they are frustrated for having wasted their time reading and forwarding the email. I understand teenage pranks and can forgive Evan’s friend who started this mess, but my question for Evan is, is it really that hard to apologize for your actions? Be a man and say you’re sorry. That would have made me feel better about the whole thing rather than seeing you (and your mom) defending the whole incident. I’m glad you’re safe and hope you never do have to experience the abduction of a friend or family member.
Hello Evans mom, it is really nice that you have apologized for your son, but maybe everyone would stop slandering Evan if he showed any remorse and apologized for himself. Maybe it started out as a joke for his friends but as soon as he realized that people were spending money to call your home to give you support and try to help find your child he should have dropped the attitude and thanked those that cared if he was dead or alive or being hurt. Those of us that have been through this know how important the internet can be to find our kids and with Evans “prank” alert emails will be deleted, the receiver not knowing if this is real or another kid looking for internet fame will hit the delete button. And yes Evan you have hurt people, your family the people that have to put up with your childish behavior, no matter what stupid things you do, no matter how hurt your mom is by your actions she will defend you that’s what mom’s do. And what about all of those annoying calls from people that thought you were in trouble and wanted to help you, how dare they. Yes Evan we have brain stems and one day when you are a dad you will have a brain stem that stops working when your child gets away from you in a crowd and all you can do is panic. Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing, maybe Evan should try that, it is very evident that no matter how long anyone talks or what they say Evan will not think of how anyone was effected but him. And mom if Evan is not sorry for his mistake your apology doesn’t mean anything. Grow up son and learn to take responsibility for your actions and mom help him by teaching him to be a man that everyone will respect, one that can say “I’m Sorry, I made a mistake”. That’s all anyone expects.
Good grief, YOU folks need to get a life. The only reason I’m reading this is because when I got this forwarded email today (that will likely be circulating for years to come) the first thing I did was ‘Google’ Evan Trembley to be sure it wasnt a hoax. Everything is Googlable these days, gang. And sure enough, it lead me here.
The kid is a teen, his friends are teens, the internet is a wild place filled with rumor spreading and the little prank got away from him into the wild ether. WERE NONE OF YOU PEOPLE EVER TEENAGERS? No, apparently you are all perfect saintly beings who God has appointed to cast stones on those of us lowly creatures who falter and make boo-boos.
If you people want to rattle your swords, couldn’t you do it in a way that actually accomplishes something like asking lawmakers to extend sentences for child molesters, or volunteering all of this free time you have to assist in after school programs for disadvantaged youth or things of that nature?
My Lord.
And now that I have responded to this useless thread of nonsense, it seems I need a life as well. Woe is me.
Ev, lay off the MySpace, dude, kay?
Tammy- got a nearly 15 year old boy myself. God help us.
Ciao.

Crazy People.. you are on the internet… do a search for news stories to verify info, the original post about the prank was from aug…. do some legwork before sending things out… now wonder my mailbox is full all the time…
Bravo!! Bravo!! Babs!
Hey guess what? I went to the box at the top of my web page that says GOOGLE and typed in his name…..low and BEHOLD his name popped up as a hoax email! Wow….total brilliance on my part I must say!!!
If people would google this crap more often maybe our email inboxes would not be jammed with crap like that!
Evan,
I have a 15 year old daughter in Indiana and she loves myspace and facebook also. I got the email this morning I googled it, just to make sure it was real before I forwarded it on to family and friends.
I am sure you have learned a huge lesson in all this. Just remember what has happened is between you and your family, and don’t listen to what the trash talkers on here say. There are so many negative people in this world, and you just got a big taste of it.
Stay strong and study hard, and don’t forget to hug your Mom today. You are safe and you are here…that’s all that matters in the end.
Beautifully said Kelly!!
Really what a loser…has so much time on his hands his parents must be really dissapointed and i wouldnt blame them.
I just received this e-mail and decided to check it out. Well, I am beside myself that someone would play this prank. With all of the children reported missing, this boy should be so ashamed of himself to mock such a tragic situation. Shame on him and yes, they should prosecute him for doing it. He has a sadistic mind.
Please.Please.Please.Shutup.Already.
I am bothered a lot about the missing person hoaxes and that people can do it and nothing happens. Why is Even Trembley not being punished for the trouble he has caused with his fake missing person poster, etc.
My daughter IS A MISSING PERSON and hoaxes only help to turn people off of missing person emails.
I want to say, ‘EVAN, SHAME ON YOU, AND SHAME ON YOUR MOM FOR THINKING IT IS THE FAULT OF OTHERS FOR FORWARDING IT WITHOUT CHECKING IT OUT’.
Most people on the Internet would not think to ‘check out’ something so horrible to see if it is true.
I did…my brother sent me a link to this issue, and I tried to email the family, but I got a bounce back message. I told my brother about that, and he later sent me the email about it being a HOAX.
I have my bounce back message saved, so to Evan’s Mother…some of us did try. After it did not go through, I did NOT forward it.
I sent out enough REAL info, without this stuff wasting all of our time.
My contact email address is: jessiesmom@jessiefoster.ca if you want more info – our website is: http://www.jessiefoster.ca
Thank you very much for letting me get this our of my system…it has been bothering me.
Every time I read a post by Denise my blood pressure goes up. She says everything on the net is a lie and this is a medium that can’t be used to help find a child because it’s all fake AND that we are stupid or we would KNOW that. I never respond to anything and I did to this. I will never do that again. THAT, my friends is the damage.
Just a note to tell you what effect Evan Trembley’s innocent prank has.
South Africa’s email boxes were flooded with this hoax everyone wanted to help somehow.
Now we are sitting with a real case where a child is missing, and noone react because they are to scared its a hoax again. In the mean time crucial time is wasted, its been 2 days and people do nothing, thanks to this case.
Evan and your mom I realy hope you know the effect this case has on countless of real and dangerous cases

P.S. EVAN’S MOM I KNO THAT IF I WERE U THEN I WOULD BE BEATING SOME A*S FOR PPL TALKIN THIS MUCH SH*T ON MY SON!!!!!!!! SO I AM VERY SORRY THAT ADULTS ARE ACTUALLY THAT IMMATURE!!
Ok, first of all the little girl above me needs to chill out. Yeah, the reason this whole thing got out of hand is because of little 12 year olds like you on Myspace. Evan, stop trying to defend yourself and apologize. I understand your a kid and kids make mistakes, but they also apologize for them. And to mom, stop trying to defend your son. EVERYONE knows he made a mistake and this is a very serious issue. It’s sad that it has come down to searching on google to see if a missing child alert is true or fake. And I’m sorry for all of those parents who really have a child missing, because thanks to this, and many other emails such as this, many people don’t take it seriously. Oh yeah, and Evan, I would really check to see who your real friends are, because you would have to be an idiot to not know that this would get out of control when you repost it and email it to others. Thats all.
to the little melissa girl i am a 20 year old mother of a two year old little boy and you wunna know something he was takin away from me for six weeks and i was in hell my heart was torn to shreds i thought my life was over he is my everything and if i would ever lose my baby again i would kill someone you dont understand how mothers feel until you become one i understand this whole thing was a joke and he didnt mean too but what people are saying is that he needs to say he is sorry for hurting people all the kids who are missing would be upset if they seen someone do something like this because you other little BRATS dont know what its like and evans mother…from a mother to a mother…you need to grow up to….you have know idea whati went through because of my son being takin away from me if you understood how it feels to either have a child takin away or have had a child missing you wouldnt be defending him you would be beating him or something but you are condoning this and its not right you people make me so sick
Charges should be filed! That is just a cruel prank!
I belive charges should be filed. What he needs to get off the computer,phone and get a job.That way he will be more productive in society. Oh by the way where is the DAD?????Or is he just one of these so called dads that doesent give a crap????????????
Geez, what a righteous bunch of commenters here. Get off your high horses. If you read the whole storey, the kid didn’t but re-do a myspace page as a gag and send it to a few personal friends. There are no claims he himself posted it anywhere for public consumption or that he had any intention of it being circulated elsewhere or made known to the general public at all.
Further, for the curmudgeon who wants him to be PROSECUTED, that would be difficult since he did not violate any law. Had he posted it himself, caused or instigated it being posted elsewhere, it might be another matter. As it is, the unfortunate actions of some, coupled with the good intentions of others, do not a criminal offense make. That is not to say any eventual consequences of wasted time on the part of authorities and the sympathies of those with good intentions who pass along such things.
-pardon the incomplete sentence with which I left off:
- not to say possible negative consequences are unimportant, but those who blindly pass along such things are more culpable than he. Further, those nasty, self-righteous, vitriolic, vengeful posters need to look into their own hearts. You, presumably are adults, and you are or should be responsible for your own words, which you have not presented as fiction or farce.
For all the nasty or just plain mean folks – or those who have been made especially sensitive to such matters due to personal tragedy, consider this – If you were to compose a work of fiction and publish it as fiction, and someone else, without your knowledge or consent were to publish your work as fact – with potential negative consequences, what responsibility would you have, other than to make an attempt to correct that as soon as possible – which was DONE in this case.
Thanks, Evan and family – for acting in a more responsible manner than many of these people who take such joy in villifying and judging.
P.S. I have to wonder how many people, other than perhaps those who have suffered such a tragedy of a missing family member, have not ever at least had the thought cross their mind of putting themselves or a family member who is always at work or school or after-school sports or otherwise never home (enough) on a milk carton. Context is everything. If you rig it up at home and put it on the counter and show a picture to a few friends it’s one thing. If they take it door to door to door, it’s another.
The last 2 coments sound like maby someone else is making excuses for what was done.I think the mother has made enough excuses.So the question is where is the dad and why hasent he spoken up on the issue? Or does he just want the mother to take the brunt of all this humiliation from the irresponsible and damaging acts of the son.
I have learned to check your website BEFORE I ever pass on any of these types of stories.
I just search the name of this “missing person” to check on the background. I’m glad I did and was able to forward a link to your site so I don’t get suckered into forwarding prank emails to all my friends and therefore supporting what I would refer to as SPAM.
He’s not going to learn unless there is a sting to it…He should be made to volunteer his time after school and on weekends to help with the search of really missing teens, then and only then will he see how this type of “prank” effects peoples lives..He’s obviously not educated enough to get the real impact of what he did…and how wrong it was.
TAKE A STEP BACK AND LOOK AT THIS SITUATION! EVAN IS RIGHT ABOUT U HAVING NO RIGHT TO JUDGE! HE IS A FIFTEEN YR OLD BOY….WHO PLAYED A PRANK THAT GOT OUT OF HAND!! HE MADE A MISTAKE AND THROUGH HIS LIFETIME WILL MAKE 100 MORE….JUST AS ALL OF US HAVE!! LETS BE GREATFUL HES SAFE, AND LET IT GO W LESSON LEARNED….SURE HE FEELS BAD ENOUGH ALREADY
Wow, Post #105 or so already!
Guys, don’t get into such a flurry about it all. These fake emails drive me crazy, but you ALWAYS google them to see if its real or not.
What annoys me more than the people who start these fake emails trying to pull at the heart strings of good hearted people, is by far THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP FORWARDING THEM!!!!
C’mon guys, cut him some slack, yes it’s low, but who didn’t do something stupid as a teenager. Maybe we should start an email called “The stupid things you did at 15″, I bet everyone could add to it.
Evan, I hope you and you’re family don’t see this because I would hope you have tried to move past this now. I hope you have leart a lesson and will grow and become a better person from it.
Love to all from Aussie land.
Kym
TAMMY,
IS THAT YOU , is this the same tammy from G.H. This is Char. There is only one Char so you know who I am if it is you.
Tammy,
This is Char from G.H.
Your old grade school friend. I got this letter and prayed that is was not your son. So i am thankful that is is only a joke. If you need help with anything please let me know.Please let me know if this is my old friend
ok i just got this e-mail and i felt so bad becasue a 15 year old was missin i mean anyone would feel bad i just sent it to over 200 people on my list and then sent a prayer to supposeldy the mother and then desided to see if he really was missing this is wat i got so that was sooo low and sad
All of you:
Get a life!
Maybe one day this guy will have a kid and understand what it would feel like to have his child come up missing and asking for any help he can get, then and then will he understand what he did.
I can’t understand why the law don’t step in on this? Teach the Boy a lesson mister Law man…!
No charges to be filed??? Sorry, this one should be charged with “inducing panic” or some other related criminal charge-maybe punks like him would get the message that this kind of crime is not cool. Did he do it thinking he would look cool and maybe have a chance at getting a date? Sorry loser..
Yes, this was a mistake, but first of all I never forward emails like this. The very first thing I do is check Urban Legends & Folklore before I get upset to see if anything has been written on it. Then the forward I send is the link to clear up the hoax in the first place. Obviously these people have learned the lesson. I hate to clutter people’s lives with what may be misinformation.
Evan,
you now have some notoriety.. You have stirred up a lot of people..
Why not put it to some use and do something to help those kids who are missing.. do something for the parents.. Get in touch with a missing persons agency/association and ask what your moment of fame can do to help.
I am from the UK writing this from a hotel in Holland, I checked before I forwarded but this is probably global by now.
Go on, then come back on here and show people how to make a difference.
Best of luck – Alex.
WOW. Who knew there were so many perfect people that have never made an error or a mistake in judgement their entire lives!! It seems to me, a 15 year old boy played a joke on his friends. Unfortunately, one of his friends took it a bit too far.
I am a mother of a 13 year old boy. He has made lapses in judgement, but I do not reprimand him across the internet, I do that in the privacy of our home. I certainly do not expect complete strangers to do it for me.
For those of you trying to punish a boy you do not even know, shame on you. I suggest you go find a mirror and look at it, because I doubt you are as perfect as you think you are. If you are so worried about hurting or offending someone else by forwarding a false email, you obviously know of this site so check it out first or you are just as guilty as you claim this child is.
If only we were all as perfect as we portray. So the kid used bad judgment-who hasn’t? Say a prayer for him to learn from it and then get over it.
I totally agree with John Marshall (post 98 & 99). I have yet to recieve any Amber Alerts in my inbox that were not hoaxes. In fact I don’t even check them out anymore, I just hit the delete button. I do have 3 children and I would die if anything happened to any of them. But on that same note I would not seriously expect any productive outcome from using the internet or email to broadcast that they were missing. Information on the internet can be any where from 5 minutes to 10 yrs old. So as an example if one of my kids did go missing and I sent out an email, later the cops bring him/her home and then I would be getting phone calls for the next 5 yrs asking if he/she is still missing. No thanks. Besides the authorities have better systems in place then just “forward this on to everyone in your address book!” Like a system that you can see an updated status regarding the missing person.
It started out as a prank among friends. And now everyone is helping that prank along. So if anyone needs to get charged with something it’s all the people that forwarded that email. Isn’t there a law against junk mail? I wish I could charge every person that sent something like this to my inbox!
I saw the news article regarding this prank and I was not impressed with the fact that both mother and son still had a smile on their face. I have two sons of my own and I certainly wouldn’t be smiling if my son did this. I think that this boy should have some type of punishment either from the police or the parents. He’s probably proud that this reached so many people, but how many are going to pay attention to the emails they get regarding the real missing children now? I live in Newfoundland, Canada and I thought it was great that so many people actually read about this but in the future not so many people will actually care about these email requests anymore.
I just got that email from a friend, and I was about to forward it, but then I was kind of a little suspiscious, so I googled the name, and I got this thing right here. So yeah =]
10 minutes of my life i’ll never get back!
What a waste.
It made it to Cambodia but I checked it out and killed it. Poor lost boy.
Evan and Mom,
Everyone is making a mistake millions of times within every minute, of every day. We do not know which action is a mistake nor its consequences. So, we are not condemned, because we are all in the same boat.
However, we are responsible for the consequences of our actions, even those actions that were taken with the best of noble intentions.
It is a virtue to be able to face the consequences and accept them, connect them to our actions, with humulity. It is, usually, not fair, but it is just. It follows the natural laws of motion, the physics of action and reaction and the permutations are exponentially incalculable.
The most important lesson that we can learn again and again is to, with humility, know where you are. This is the information age, we have to understand the context that we live in, the nuance of society, culture, and humanity.
To be sensitive to, not irreverent toward our own humanity. The gruff and arrogant adolescent callousness of a teen, male or female is a defense mechanism to the chasm of ignorance surrounded by an atmosphere of genius. Our God-given nature is one of impeccable, purity, and genius.
However, the abyss of inexperience runs counter to that intuition. Unless values are taught and reinforced in the 3rd and 4th demensions, along with a reverent labor of love, through which the issues of life are distilled within the soul, an individual’s potential will never amount to more that a disconnected sum of useless shiny and brilliant parts.
Do not be angry or bitter at the hostility that is being directed at you. Be chastened by it. It is the grit that chisels the face of character. Gleen the growthful kernels in each message. Receive it not with condemnation, but with the intent to increase your understanding of yourself, the world, other people’s’ feelings and percpectives of life.
Validate their perspectives in your heart that you may become a bigger, better person.
Don’t resent the feedback that you become small, mean, bitter and unable to ever evolve beyond the limits of your thoughtspace, the dreamspace that bred the error. Life is not a rehersal, and you cannot live and die based upon your reviews.
People will always judge, no matter if you are right or wrong. You must learn to follow your conscience and don’t shut it down to defend an error because if you do, you will live your entire life as a selfish waste.
If instead, you accept favorable and unfavorable feedback, with humility and compassion, for youself and for the person giving the feed back (who may be wise or who may be lost)then through that humility and compassion that God fills you with, you will approach genuine humanity.
That humanity is a safe harbor from offense and humiliation because you do not seek to be right, to prove anything, and least of all, to prove that a mindless trifling spew of ‘innocent’ misrepresentation is benign.
A lie, even in jest, is not a healthy foundation for communication or sharing between intimates (friends). Cherish your own heart and soul and those of your friends. It may sound idealistic and sappy, but that peace that we seek in life is founded in authenticity.
The consequences of authenticity can be as harsh as those of foolishness. Life is not fair but just. However the justice of nature is often harsh as we saw with the Tsunami, Katrina, and many others.
We have to know where we are, how small we are, how much one drop in a pool transforms the entire universe, and how much of a difference we make and whether we want to be part of the problem or part of the solution.
I have no children, and will probably have great consequences as a result of this email. You don’t need to show me remorse, I am not your God. God does not ask for remorse, He knows your heart. But do you? That is why God asks us to come boldly to His throne of Grace. This hardness is not you. Don’t beat your chest at the first sign of trouble.
You don’t owe anyone an apology. Just trust in God, forgive youself if you need to, but don’t cover your bright beauty with a foul attitude because you feel unjustly accused.
Jesus was unjustly accused, a lamb to the slaughter with no single sin, yet he stood mute and at the time of reckoning: “Father forgive them, they know not what they do,”
His thought was for the genuine welfare of others, even in His more dire moment. I am not silly enough to ask you, or myself, or anyone, to immitate Jesus. He had a special assignment and the special grace to perform it.
However, we all, each, have a special assignment, and we are held accountable to God for its fulfillment. He will give you everything you need as long as you develope a personal relationship with him.
I am not preaching religion to you, or telling you to fall on your knees. My point is for you to guard your heart, your attitude, your words and your actions. Your life is precious, you are preciuos, and so are the lives of everyone in creation.
Wrap yourself in God’s love that he may give you the stregnth of Sampson in your character. It takes stregnth to turn the other cheek, to do the right thing, when no one understands.
Life will always be like this. If you see the Passion of the Christ (I recommend the big screen) Jesus states to His disciples that what they see being done to Him, will be done to them as well.
You will not always be able to say “I’m just a kid.” This is what the world deals out, misunderstanding, judgement, hatred, false accusation, cruel insensitivity, undeserved punishment, and etc. So, get ready. Develop your heart, so that you can receive this atmosphere without bitterness, confusion and anger.
With a heart of God’s gentle stregnth, you will be able to find the pearl of great price, by being the right man you will attract the right partner for life, you will discern the right business to go into. You can’t cheat an honest man. Be true to your self and you can be false to none other.
I love you, son,
sharon
Too bad you thought this was funny, this was pretty stupid on your part. God forbid you really do go missing….no one will look for you when you really need them to. What goes around comes around my friend and what you put out there comes back at you worse than what you did. You obviously don’t follow the Golden Rule “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” I feel sorry for you that you did this for nothing. Hope you grow up soon, son, this ain’t no way for a young man to be, you could really hurt someone, maybe even yourself. No one needs to know you to know what or why you did what you did, they just need to know that someone did it. Should put a stop to this idiotic behaviour and let the kids who are REALLY missing have a chance to be found!!!
Evan you are hot:D
Evan,
I’m not going to be mean but I’m not going to be nice to you either. I’m going to be honest with you, I don’t read fwd’s most of them are bull so I don’t. I got a fwd this morning though and it said ***Amber Alert*** in the subject line so naturally I open it. I waited til’ it loaded read the information and fwd’ed it to like 10 people. Then I open my email inbox just about an hour ago and low and behold I hear back from one of the people I fwd’ed to and she said it was a hoax. Do you know honestly how bad it made me feel for your mother? I think not… I am a single mother of 3 wonderful children, and I sent that email hoping for some relief for your mother/family. Before you criticise someone for their actions take a look at your own is all I am telling you. The one thing that I know is you are remorseful somewhat but that doesnt excuse the behavior by no means. If anything this is meant to teach you a lesson, Like my mother told me those lesson’s taught the hard way are the ones worth remembering. I’m not going to be negative towards you but I will say this much it was irresponsible of you to do something like that. With every action is a reaction no matter if its chosing to brush your teeth in the morning or at night… Trust me I know alot about consequences I am a single mother of 3 and I am only 20 years old. I wont get into too much detail about myself, but there is alot still for you to learn and hopefully we’ll hear something good come of this in the future maybe you can turn your life into something positive I know I have. Your still young and have alot of life in front of you so make something of it! Rather than sitting around cursing your unlucky stars make lemonade out of your lemons.
Cyndi
You that are without sin, cast the first stone!
I just got this email as well and I thought it was real so I had forward it on to all my friends. You are right, if this was my 15 year old son, I would GROUND him for Life!!
Sick people out there….
I also received this letter and sent it to other friends and family because I felt bad for this family. I sincerely wanted that boy found because I have a young son too! I really wanted to do my share of helping!
At first I questioned it because in the original letter, I saw the sender and the receiver were the same…., but I over looked it and sent it.
I would be furious if my son did that.
The public won’t know what is true next time!
What if someday there is a mom/dad etc looking for their child, every one will be suspicious because of this incident!
Please save it for when (God forbid) it does really happen, then the whole world can partner up with the family and help them!
I think that the boy should have some sort of consequence such as community service or something like that, since he got the community worried about him!!!!
Shame on him!!!
Furioua,
Sonia
“The public won’t know what is true next time!”
Simple rule of thumb: If it comes in a chain email, it’s not true.
This makes me sick to think how a child or anyone would waste the time of others as well as the emotional distress it causes those who have lost a child. I think children like this need to be punished in some way by the law and it to not be a light punishment. This was down right wrong and shows what kind of human being this boy is and speaks volumes about the kind of up bringing the child received at home. no I am not going to feel sorry for people who do these things and hear that stuff of a bad life they had that made them do these things. I had a very crappy life but I did not do these things. SHAME ON HIM!
what the hell where you thinking? you should never pull a prank on you missing…cause the next time if you really are missing the police are not going to believe your mom or your friends…you should of thought twice before doing something so freaking stupid like that…if one of my kids ever did that they would be so grounded.. when the police say you might not be charged you shoould be charge with at least a 50$ fine for beening so freakiing stupid ..dont like ur friends make you something you dont want to be..be your self if your friends dont like u how u are than they are really not your friends i have been down that road a million times and down it… i hope this time you think twice before you do it but im so glad that you are ok and that it was just a misunderstanding..
Evan and Tammy, I forwarded your email to many friends, friends in the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada. Why? Usually I don’t bother with any chain mail or any type of email as this. This one hit me where it hurts, because it involved a family with a missing child. My own daughter went missing 18 years ago and to this day, whenever I hear of a similar situation my pain returns. I feel the pain I felt all that time ago because I know that another family is going through the same torturous hell of not knowing if their child is safe or even alive.
It is heartbreaking to think that a service so widely used can be used in this manner as a prank with no apology.
Evan I am glad you are safe, Tammy I am glad you have your son.
hey,
Ok, well, maybe the poor kid just needed some attention. i’m not saying what he did was right, but i mean, we all want attention.
maybe he just needs prayer. like his email said.
Can you say “Movie of the week”?
Whoa, a lot of drama has been caused due to this. I just have something to say about what some of the people on here are saying. First off, the person who said something about Mrs. Trembley- completly disrespectful, this was NOT her fault, and she has every right to want to defend her son from all the trash-talking people are doing about him, wouldn’t you if it was your son?! Yes, it was a SICK joke, that was COMPLETLY irresponsible, but what you said to her was completly uncalled for, she’s doing her job as a mother! I am only a kid myself, 17 actually, but still, I know if I were to do this, my mom would defend me, because thats what moms do for their children. thats just my opinion, and im not saying its right. also, i think that although this was a sick, crude joke, people need to GET OVER IT- we have so many more problems to actually worry about, than some 15 year old who played a prank, and made a mistake, seriously. we do have kids being taken away, we have child rapists living next door, we have murderers on the loose, so lay off of such a dead topic, and worry about the important things in life. sorry if im offending anybody, but it seems that a lot of people are taking their time to stress how rude, and sick, and messed up evan is- get over it, it’s really none of your concern anymore, delete the email, and move on. and im sorry for evan’s mother who has to deal with this stuff, i really am. i think she is doing a good job of handling it though.
Things like this could cause a person to have a heart attack. Now someday there may be someone that is really missing and the e-mails will not go out due to pranks like this. All I know is THANK GOD my parents brought me up not to use people for my own pleasure…. in this manner.
My daughter actually was an endangered runaway back in Jan 2003. We used the internet and were able to get over 10,000 flyers out along with the use of TV and newspapers. Fortunately, we only suffered for 23 days. It was and still is the most frightening experience of my life and I hope this boy and others who do this never have to endure the reality of a missing child.
I get these emails a lot because of our experience and I can usually tell a hoax right away. It’s a shame that when people put out false flyers it makes it more difficult for those of us with a real emergency.
I always get my proof of hoax from sites like this and Snopes and reply with hoax information to all senders.
i don’t normally forward these things, but i was touched by the fact of losing a child. Just goes to show you what some children will do to pull a prank. They don’t see the ramifications of hurt this will cause many missing children in the world.
Poor Evan is obviously a VERY disturbed child. I hope his parents get him the professional help he needs and is obviously seeking by his cry for help. When someone is as sick as Evan anything is possible. If he doesn’t get the help he needs soon I wonder what will Evan do next for attention?????
Poor Sick Evan…..Please get help!
I didn’t like the email or the raalization that is was a hoax after my google search. I realize he meant it as a joke, but what kind of person would find it funny? If you really think people should be punished for things like this, then start the process to make it a law. Everyone has a right to express their opinion whether it is negative or positive. An opinion is someones point of view to which they are entitled.
Start a petition I think you need about 1000 signatures and bring it to your senator. That is your proposal.
Beginning of a Bill
• An idea for a bill may come from anybody, however only Members of Congress can introduce a bill in Congress. Bills can be introduced at any time the House is in session.
• A bill’s type must be determined. A private bill affects a specific person or organization rather than the population at large. A public bill is one that affects the general public.
Proposal of a Bill
• After the idea for a bill is developed and the text of the bill is written, a Member of Congress must officially introduce the bill in Congress by becoming the bill’s sponsor.
Months later…I’ve received this e-mail 4 times from caring, loving individuals who were trying to help. Let’s all learn from this and realize what a powerful, global tool the internet can be – we can use it for good. We should remind our kids that systems like missing persons bulletins and emergency numbers (911) are there to help those who really need them. Abuse of them is not only foolish, but dangerous.
Now here is a perfect example of how much times have changed from when most of us were growing up. Back then you did something stupid like this, your parents would have seen a flyer in the local grocery store or post office, they would have gone home paddled you backside, and spent a week or 2 apologizing to folks for the prank.
Evan, and any other teens out there, this is not that world. Stupid mistakes today can run around the world in 20 minutes. Your MySpace pages are available to the entire world. You need to be VERY careful what you put there. I would say do not put anything out there that you would not put on a 100 ft banner and hang off the empire state building. That being said, you did make the mistake, you could try atoning for it with a little humility . Folks are so ticked off because they saw your photo, and took an emotional stock in you. They felt for you, your family, probably a bit for their own and that has been utterly betrayed by this prank. You should be appreciative that so many people cared so much. I am sure you mother takes some comfort in that.
To those who want to crucify this boy and his family. CHILL OUT!! He is 15. How many of you did retarded things when you were 15? I can probably write a book on my list. How many of your retarded things, if played out in the internet age could have snowballed like this? Whats more…do you think it helps having the entire world slamming them so harshly?! Do you not think that scares them a bit? It is probably only a matter of time before some more retards start throwing threats at them. Don’t you think all this is a little extreme?
It is awesome that so many people were touched by this and sent this so fast. It says a lot about the hearts of folks out there. The fact that it is still running around the web (and probably will be for a while) shows that. Just chill out folks…I am sure it has been dealt with, and Evan probably will think twice before he posts anything at all out there again.
Just by looking at his picture, you can make out that he’s a trouble maker, probably some rich white kid who has nothing else better to do with his time, but to make up what he thinks as a joke. And the funnier thing, is that when you see a picture of a white kid like that, it makes all the white ppl wanna really “reach out and touch someone” to help such a brat! Hope kids who look and act like him, get what they deserve! That is the worst!
I have to say that while this was likely never intended by Evan to become such a big deal, and may not have made it to the email rounds by his own actions.. and he IS a kid, and kids make mistakes… he needs to understand why people were upset. no one likes to feel they’ve been made a fool of, especially over something so important to everyone (Amber alerts). While the personal attacks against him may be largely unwarranted, it seems to me that it would have all been put to bed fairly quickly had he simply said ‘Hey.. I’m really sorry. I never intended for this to happen’
A little heartfelt remorse goes a long way
The real sad comment here is that Evan, and his Mom, don’t seem to understand what the impact of these so called harmless pranks are. He has caused wasted efforts and time of countless thousands of people. Some of these people are busy searching for real lost children, and are dealing with real grief stricken families. He has taken some of the focus away from real missing people. Hurting that effort, not acknowledging it, and then having no remorse is a problem. Who knows what impact this has had in far reaching areas. I just got this message today from a friend who’s child just had a organ transplant, and here several months have passed since EVAN started this. In my office, I work with a mother who’s child really was missing for 6 months. His body was found this past spring after the winter snow melted. This sort of thing brings back so many horrible memories for all of us. That mental and personal impact alone is absolutely terrible. Evan, even though your Mom, and you may not see the anguish you have caused, it is there at the very least in my circle of friends. I’m sure your just another kid having some fun on the web, and l understand that. Your age and experience in the world at this point are the problem. For future reference, the best thing for you to do is to man up, and simply say ’sorry folks, I had no idea, and it won’t happen again’.
Just plain CRAZY and MEAN! EVAN TREMBLEY (just wanted to put it in CAPS because he seems to like his name mentioned on here) got all the attention he was looking for from all of us, including ME…it is giving him something to do and BRAG about…I am sure he likes to read about himself EVERYDAY! Maybe……or should I say….Hopefully, it is keeping him off the streets from stealing from us HONEST hard working people that make an HONEST living and have children that would NEVER want this sort of attention!
This is NOT something you prank about on ANY website….it would be a TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE for anyone to have to go thru if their child was ever abducted and missing…… Just not a nice thing AT ALL !!! Well EVAN TREMBLEY, I hope you got what you wanted, the ATTENTION! I guarantee that you look at this BLOG everyday to see your “FAME IN SHAME” ! NOT a nice thing to do even as a “joke” !!!!!!!! From a PROUD Mom and Grandma in Canada
Gooooolllleeeeeeeeee EVAN
Golly Gosh
Evan and your mom are a prime of example of people who cannot take responsibility for their actions and continue to blame others. I feel sorry for Evan’s teachers.
this is just so pathetic….when there are real children missing out there…
hope the kid learned something from this.
why are people are so upset that he is actually not missing. would you rather have him missing or what? yes there are other missing people in the world we need to help but just be glad that evan is not one of those missing!
Big deal, so all you suckers passed around an email you thought was real (probably pass around all the chain email too)…just goes to show why we have Norton…Hey kid, now that you see how stupid most people are and how quickly you can get to them, try plugging a product into the email and watch the $$ flow…You are on your way to becoming a marketing master.
this boy should be in jail for a couple of days, eventually we have to go back to the good old days when a father could give him a few slaps round the ears
I just recieved an e mail about it. I actually thought it was true and forwarded it to a few people. Luckily I was smart enough to search evan trembley on yahoo search and found this link. I hope this kid learns his lesson. There is nothing funny about what he did. He should be ashamed.
Checked emails, found this, didn’t belive it, googled it, found this website, shrugged my shoulders, left a comment, deleted it, moved on with my life.
People on the internet really should learn to be a little less gullable. Yes, human compassion is a good thing to have, but when you combine that with human ignorance, it tends to lead to a lot of worked up people people they are made to look quite foolish.
Yes, the kid that made this is a prat, but it didn’t take me 30 seconds to Google the story and find out it was fake before i started spamming up everyones inbox, thus circulating it even further. Yes, it is also a fact that a missing child is not something that should be shown in this light, or given this kind of bad press, but i must say, if it was my child that was missing, i would be far more interested in getting my story in the newspaper, and not in to peoples inboxes. Why? Because of spam emails like this. Its sad to say, but you really shouldn’t believe everything you read on the internet, and if i doubt, google it and then ignore it.
By the way, check out this great link and get a *FREE* iPhone!
http://www.iwantmyiphone.com
I did it, and i had it in my hand the next day!!
wow ppl r so gullible, even after a story like this, there are still those who genuinely believe the Trembleys commented on this
hi mom! let’s make all put on Guy Fawkes masks and make a movie!
ha! funny way to end your post satch
I Lol’d reading this page
ahahahahahahaha
=D
i know how it is makin a boring time interesting thus, i’m also a teen-ager and we always do {i won’t call it stupid} but foolish stuff the kind that we enjoy!!!! lol
but seriously i think the next time someone gets an e-mail about a missing child there’s a way less chance that they will forward it!!!! and that’s just a bigg loss if the story is true!!!
but it’s okay we all damn kids we grow up eventually {or not!!!!lol}
have fun!!!!!!
I see a lot of well formal comments about this and most of them are negative which is what is intended, but seriously we really have only one way of expressing how we feel to something like this:
Don’t be an a**hole. Thank you.
Haha, you were so obviously not the actual Even Trembley.
I lol’d through the whole page as they all flamed you
I think the moms and grandmas on this page need to take a chill pill. You guys believe EVERYTHING, including the comments made by the “Trembleys”. Judging by the way you took those comments seriously, and by forwarding the email to thousands of people BEFORE checking to see if it was fake, you guys deserve it. I hope you all learn a lesson for yourselves that nothing on the internet can be taken seriously, ESPECIALLY if it comes from your email box.
I am ashamed for mothers everywhere. Grow up. Get with technology already.
I have just gone through some of the postings after receiving an eamil about Evan. The first thing I did was to Google Evan’s name and wala, it was a hoax. There are many other hoax’s going around and we should all be responsible and make sure things are true before forwarding anything.
Wow.. First off, I figured it was a prank; Second, give the kid a f***’n break. He didn’t mean for this to happen and it did. No need to slander his additude, PUNCTUATION, or his mother. Jeebus people.
First rule of the internet: If you get an email that has said you won something, something is wrong and this random person needs your help, or anything that you have the brains to think it MIGHT be not true, google it AND look at more than one page, to see if its real or not.
I am 22 and I’ve known this for almost 10 years.
OH and I do believe amber alert forwards have a link to a page that has all the info about the missing kid.. FYI.
Even if it was only posted on myspace bulletin, it is almost inevitable that someone should make it an email and forward it to people as an act of good faith. There are concerned people on the internet. They know that if it were truly happening to them, they would want “all the help they can get,” as was also mentioned in the hoax.
To the rest who’ve been victimized, please google it first the next time you receive something like this, that’s what I did.
And of course, just because anything can be goggled nowadays doesn’t mean you can do hoaxes. The point is there are already lots of hoaxes that tug on the hearts of millions of people – generating fear – whether they be wrong information about HEALTH or just about anything at all. Please don’t add to them.
I must say that all of this comes as no surprise. The arrogance and lack of responsibility for ones actions seems to come naturally in this case. You are right #20 Dwain, the apple indeed does not fall too far from the tree. Trust me I know. All love to babel, almost in the same way as #98 and #99 JOHN MARSHALL??????? Sounds like someone I know. Come on Evan, OWN IT BOY!! And Tammy and Dad?? make him responsibile for his ridiculous attitude and damaging actions. TEACH BY EXAMPLE, try it sometime, it really works.
All it takes is a quick ‘Google’ to find the truth… then no-one need go further and no-one needs to SPEND ALL THIS TIME ON TYPING OUT ALL THESE MESSAGES!!
Chill out cousins from across the pond and don’t think too harshly of the boy. Didn’t you make a mistake when you were young? (Yes boy, you made a mistake)
Sounds like some body needs to take the belt down from the shelf, and while they are at it knock some dust off the Bible. The children in this world who are really missing deserve better than this. At 15 years of age you know right from wrong, no question. Maybe some community service pertaining to missing children.
I can’t believe how many of you out there is saying that he should be “spanked” or hit as a punishment for what he did! I am so glad that I am living in a country where beating children is considered disgusting and way off track.
The way to raise a child is not through beating, when are you people gonna learn that? Violence feeds violence.
And about the prank…come on, I know you shouldn’t kid around about missing children, but that wasn’t his intention so leave it. You don’t have to insult him or his mom.
//Mici from Sweden
I know this was a very serious thing to do and like all of you I E -Mailed all my friends in hopes for the family to find him. But now I know this was a joke I believe as adults we need to lift these kids up and not tear them down, this world has to much misery in it and our children need Love and then more Love. Let’s get rid of the hard hearts, and Pray for our kids of this nation only then will we see change.
I hope Evan Trembley realized that what he and his friend did was very, very, VERY idiotic and it hurt a lot of people.
Children go missing a lot… and if you think that’s a joke, Evan Trembley…
Well, you obviosuly didn’t learn much in your 15-year-old life.
People like you depress me.
I DID NOT forward the e-mail, as I google it first. I receive a lot of e-mails like that and they are usually fake, but from time to time, I get one that’s real and I want to help so I pass it on. BUT PEOPLE, PLEASE CHECK THE MESSAGE BEFORE HITTING FORWARD!!! It’s so easy to copy and paste the name of the missing/sick child on the “search” space on google.com. So it’s the person who made it as an e-mail to blame and all the people who forward to blame too. The stupid boy that first send it should have thought better before e-mailing to a bunch of his friends who would pass it on to those naive people who spread virus and trojan all over the intenet…
Also, I’m 21 years old, so I was 15 just six years ago and I would NEVER do anything like that. So what if only my friends would see it? I think it’s a lack of respect to play with something as seriuos as a missing child! So Evan, even if was just an inside joke, it was stupid and you should take responsability from it. You are 15, come on! You know better, you know right from wrong! I think most people here just wanted to hear you say that you are sorry! And you didn’t! You are trying to blame others, and sure, others are to blame too, but you started it! You made the bulletin and it’s your name on it. So apologize. You were wrong, no questions and you should feel sorry. I’m from Brazil and my friends from New Zealand sent me the e-mail, so look what happened! How far did it go!
Clearly you were never told the story of the boy who cried wolf. I, like so many other caring people and concerned parents sent the message on to people we know would be concerned for your wellfare. You are a sad little boy ! Time to grow up !
Doesn’t anyone read the other comments? You’re all just repeating each other’s words. Evan has apologized. Though the person that forwarded it as an e-mail should be sorry. Any mother would defend their child whether they were right or wrong. If you wouldn’t, then you’re a horrible parent. (I was picked up at a park by police at 4:00 AM and my dad argued with police that I was not doing anything wrong. I was simply playing hide and seek with friends.) We all make mistakes. We all try to be funny and somethings just get out of hand. This is one thing that went horribly array. If you are still that torn up about this “prank” or “hoax” then learn from your mistakes! Google the name of the “missing child” before forwarding it. It doesn’t take much time. Or, if that is just too much trouble, don’t open forwarded messages.
You people should be the bigger and better person by just forgiving and forgetting.
Haha, Evan if you wanna know, your prank thingy made it all the way to Sweden. I google everything before I send it to everyone I know, and I found out it was a chainletter… People should make googling things a habit, it would result in a lot less spam.
BUT! if people HAVE to send chainletters, then one with a cute boy like Evan on it doesn’t bother me as much as one with a hugging bear on it, telling me that if I don’t foward it, it’ll come kill me in my sleep xD
So now this littel “hoax”is traveling aroung SA. I do hope that young children around the world will learn from this boy’s stupidity and not repeat this rather sad and nasty little prank. Missing children are a great concern and yes one can “google” missing kids, but that’s not the point. I sincerely hope that this young lad’s family/parents/care givers will make sure he understands that this is not appropriate behaviour
you all need lives and taking the belt and bible off the shelf come on!this is ridiculous and evan sure has a story for his kids and grandkids “i once made this email and a lot of people flipped out…”
Props to Evan, I find this quite amuzing.
Look you haters he didn’t mean it, he made a stupid, kind of amuzing mistake which I’m sure he regrets now.
I’m sure it got him some ass, haha
props
ok… I don’t have time to read all this. But we can certainly learn some lessons. 1. be a friend with your children on facebook, know what is going on. 2. when you receive this from your daughter or son, quickly write a nice note on her/his wall, explaining that she/he should be careful about what they pass on. I just got the e-mail this morning & googled it. If Evan apologized- couldn’t he do it in the same way & he started the amber alert? May-be we would have gotten his apology before the false one that is still going & going….
spare the rod… spoil the child… take it however… discipline is a must… a pat on the behind (with sad love) can work
I just thought I should comment on this…its unbelievable people like me are still giving so much attention to this issue. This has been going since September.
My name is Whitney. I’m 13, and I live in Perth, Australia. Now, I really don’t know what to think. Was surfing the internet, and when I checked my emails, I found this email. Now, having already received one earlier in the year about Amy Bruce, an imaginary little girl with cancer, I used my sense, and I googled it. I WAS going to send it to everyone, but I remembered, and figured there was no harm in doing this first.
I agree with all the points on here. I don’t really know if the Evan on here is true. I have a myspace which I created last week, but NEVER would I post ANYTHING like that on there. But I do believe the story Evan told about a random idiot passing it around. I know, and accept already, that these things happen. All the time. He got it from an already established email that was getting passed around on myspace.
Like I said before, I agree with a lot of the points people are making. But instead of swearing and carrying on, I will explain them in a mature, composed way. Which really does surprise me, how adults don’t mind spreading stuff like this all over the internet, but it’s alright to have a go at him for the way he types. Personally, I think it is shocking, immature, and just plain hypocritical.
1. I believe that he is telling the truth, whether or not it is him. Things like this are accidents. They easily happen. Evan is a 15-year old teenage boy. I go to a high school FULL of them. They ARE weird. This is what they do! So blaming him for putting something on myspace for his friends to see, when he wasn’t even intending this to happen, is inappropriate.
Yes, there are safety precautions, to stop randoms going on your space, if you choose not to let them. But really, who say that it wasn’t one of the people on his friends list, who did it as a joke? There is only so far you can go. If you want a myspace, that is the lowest level of security.
2. I believe, for extremely obvious reasons, that EVERYTHING like this should be googled. I’m not even going to bother elaborating on that.
3. Yes, I think he should be sorry. Although, like I said, I don’t believe he was the one who started its circulation, it was very 15-year-old-boy immature, and silly. It has definitely hurt a lot of people, I can see that, but he is only to blame for not thinking of the possible consequences that could of occurred, which did. Posting things like that on myspace, is of course things like that might happen! He needs to apologize to the people who have lost their children, who are looking for them, who get these sorts of email, for wasting their time. If my 7-year-old sister was missing, I would be bawling my eyes out by now. I’m just lucky I haven’t lost anything significant. Evan hasn’t realized that the world is bigger that his globe at home on his toy shelf.
I see why people are so angry and disturbed by the incident. By it occurred long enough ago now that people have to learn to leave and move on. Also, the fact that people are accusing him on the spot of so much that they haven’t heard the true story about, would be enough to make anyone say things that never meant to. I would also be making up excuses, and defending myself, and I would be so heart-broken.
Overall, people need to learn that technology is changing, and accept that it was an accident, and stop taking it so personally.
Whitney, 13
myspace is for emos so he probably wrote some poem about this also lots of things happen on the intrnet. srens of xbox’s were leaked on the net so just acept it as a mistake
Guy
P.S i visit this for comic relief
Some of you people are ridiculous. It was just a stupid prank. It didn’t even get out of hand. How many of you actually decided that you would do something helpful or go looking when you found out this kid was missing? No one. All you did was stay put in your chair and forward it to a bunch of people to make yourself feel good. Sure, it was an immature prank, and it probably cause some tension within his family, but it really didn’t do any harm to the public whatsoever. People who knew Evan obviously knew he wasn’t missing. Stop blowing it out of proportion.
aww, leave this poor kid a lone. It was an obvious joke. Yeah, so he had bad judgment over it, no need to go bad mouthing an innocent 15 year old kid behind his back on the internet. Now how does that make all of you look, huh?
I’ve just received this from the UK, as if the boy was from England–these hoaxes really travel!
wooooow.
people can get really cynical.
the kid already explained and apologized a hundred times and so did his MOTHER, yet you people are still at it!
get a life!!
What bothers me more that this prank are the people who post comments using misspelled words and improper grammar. Evan is a child in school but it seems to me that most of these people responding need to go back.
First off, I am glad that he is okay and not really missing, it was just a prank that got way out of hand but I will tell you one thing..I would love to be the one to find him..he has got looks to die for. haha
I hope this kid or his family never have to go through something like this, for real.
Wow…. I think a prescription of shut the hell up is in order. You’ve all taken the discussion to far, it was a joke, end of story.
I just got this E-Mail myself and it looked like a hoax because there wasn’t much information included, so I googled it, and of course I am here.
After reading some of the comments here, you people really need to relax. As it has been stated before, this was all just a prank with a few of his friends on his Myspace, and then it snowballed.
Was it stupid? It sure as hell was, he probably should have thought about this a little bit more before doing this. But the damage is done, and nothing more can be done.
For those of you who think that there’s have been no consequences of his his little prank, think again. He pretty much publicly humiliated himself, and his family, and he has to put up with crass judgments from idiots in the general public making harsh and rude judgments about not only him, but his mother and his family.
He will certainly think twice before ever doing something like this again. So Evan, I really hoped you learned something from all of this.
Tie the little bastard to a tree and stone him.
Hello this is not a senseless prank he should be punished, everything we do in life has a consequence please remember your parents could be asked to pay for the efforts of the police force if there are any. I was asked by a friend to help in finding this little boy by adding a picture of him on my site in which I did. I will tell you one thing little boy you are going to cry wolf again and no one will be there to help or hear your cries. This is the reason Americans will not help one another as we once did, please grow up and learn from this mistake you have made.
This hoax and the subsequent barage of actions and comments is really amusing on many levels — except of course the real expense and wasted time expended by the authorities, and paid for by OUR tax dollars.
I have only one comment in response to this dear post #179:
“My name is Whitney. I’m 13, and I live in Perth, Australia.”
Whitney (if that is your true name and age), you have quite a future ahead of you. What a mature and wise young lady you are. You are writing on the internet AND using correct spelling, grammar, common sense, etc. How nice! Evan — are you listening???
EVAN TREMBLEY that has posted in this site is not the real Evan Trembley – ppl need to “put two and two together” sometimes and do research outside of one website.
It has been reported that the real Evan Trembley has written a statement saying he had nothing to do with the hoax. In fact, it is reported that when he heard about the hoax he called the authorities to advise that he definitely was not missing and had nothing to do with the hoax.
people people people …either way just shut the hell up you are making this such a big deal.. like said many times.. if you see a kid on T.V. being announced as “missing” you’ll hear about it.. for gods sake i get approximately 100-150 pieces of junk mail and shit every week. all of which is BS…if you don’t understand this y do you even bother using the internet.. you people piss me off …even if he did do this as a prank or whatever just ignore it … if a kid goes missing and you hear about it from a reliable source then you might wanna help.. but think about it logically..if your kid goes missing are you gonna make a facebook message to search.. if you do at least leave some contact info.. wtf.. just grow the f&^k up and hopefully my post will be the last here.. just drop it it’s done and over with …you can’t take it back.. so just delete all these messages and be on with your lives.
I am confused. I don’t understand the question or what the hell is going on. This is a complete waste of people’s time.
Hi Karen! Thank-you for leaving that message about my comment. It was really nice of you. Yes, I actually just turned 14. I would never lie about anything this serious. Nothing as serious as the trouble Evan has caused. Shame…
I think it is disgusting, and all responsable should be punished, it creates problems for those parents who are really and truly searching for their children that have gone missing and need assistance after a prank like this how many people are going to believe the next email when a child really does go missing.
i gotthis email and sent it to everyone in my address book..i think it is sad that the only way he thought he could pull a prank is by creating this email…i feel bad for his parents who he has put through this mess…if he where my kid i would deffinetly be taking computer privalages away and that would only be the start cuz he would end up with no life from being grounded
I DONT’ CARE!
IT WURKED!
I AM A GENIUSS!
Ur an idiot mate.
unbelievable how many people are so gullible to forward anything they receive with the letters “FWD” in the subject line. FOOLS. How many years has this been going on where bogus news is “FWD” through email? Did all you folks just buy a computer and start receving email??? I have been getting email hoaxes for at least the last ten years!! I am amazed that so many people are so worked up over a teen’s mistake. and the judging!! Dear God forgive them! Missing children reports are not a joke and if you have a concern about it, check out the missing childrens website. But shame on you all for forwarding bogus emails all over the world and then blaming someone else!! FOOLS all of you.
Evan I have a 15 year old son, since this is such a joke to you why don’t you let him meet you and show you what a real southern ass kicking is like you spoiled little prick !
this is to everyone
this comment is really worth reading
evan you may be saying that we r judging u ,well some of us are.but most of us are just expressing our opinions.that is okay to do.to the people that did judge evan.i agree with evan.u dont really know him.but evan that doesnt mean that what u did was okay.because it wasnt okay.some advice.dont post things on the internet u dont want to see tomorrow or the rest of your life.evan i understand this wasnt your intention.but when you doing things like what u did just remember it may not turn out the way u want it to.people he didnt want attention.he made for it to be a joke but that doesnt mean that he should done it.always think of what could happen in the end and in the middle. evan u probaly r tired and sick of seeing this but there are missing chidren out there in this world.i guess i am on both sides.one side evan shouldnt have did what he did.it was wrong in so many ways but i dont feel like typing them.i am on evans side to because he didnt want it to end like this but that doesnt mean he it was okay.wecant change other people or stop what he did. maybe he showed us that we shouldnt believe everything we hear and that we should think before we do things.this is not telling u how to parent just voicing my opinion.that if i were the parents i would have a nice long talk with evan and fill him in.if u disagree thats okay ,remember this is my opinion.evan sometimes just think it through.the first time i saw this i really wanted to know more.i looked it up and saw it was fake.it just goes to show u evan u sorta just sorta wasted peoples time.remember people have the right to vioce thier opioion and what they think,and we may not all agree but thats okay.i am on both sides.
The only sad thing about this whole matter is the fact that old ppl r still allowed on the interwebs. NE 1 who gets pisst off @ short hnd or the lack or pucntuation on intrwb msg boards needs to stfu and get w/ the program or leave it alone.
2 those who want to break out the bibles and belts, especially “grandma”: the world will be rid of you soon, 4 which I will thnk the god I don’t believe in(or, in whom I don’t believe, right?). Your antique ways won’t work in the world 2.0
If this hoax was your first indication that the net has sum crap floating in it, b thnkfl, u’ve lernd a valuable lesson.
To all the hotheads and bible humpers who invest so much time in venting angry msgs on msg boards and hating kids bcuz the world in which u grew up is no more and gone: I wil always laugh @ ppl like u who claim 2b christian (christ like) and talk about abusing children. militant, angry religious ppl do more to turn others away from organised crime… er, uh, I mean religion, than anything(citation needed).
FYI
bulletins on myspace are only viewable by friends, not everyone.
I also 4got to kudos “sharon”. I read true compassion and profundity in your post. Way to be human! I only hope the rednex and angry christ freaks read it as well.
Your mum needs a damn spanking herself
How dare she dismiss what you did?
We who have kids missing (presumed dead) think you Evan are going to grow more uncaring, stupid and will think yr mum will save your neck every time you open yr dumb mouth.
YOU’LL END UP IN JAIL EVAN — Can’t wait!
P.S. Police say those who pretend to go missing either HAVE or WILL end up taking someone’s kid as they are emotionally unstable.
EVAN–THE WORLD WAITS
BIG TIM..AM SOOO SCARED. Your inbred son’s brain only size of a peanut so i think i’d flaten him in under a minute ya losers!
As for you BOO HOO peops who have kids missing… umm……WHY WERENT YA WATCHING YA KIDS? If you was a decent parent noone woulda had the chance to take ya kid. Poor kids prob pissed off on ya anywayz.
Own the blame you neglectfl parents… my mom reckons you should stop pissin yr kids offa to park or street so you can have a ‘break’ == glasses of wine.
Your fault your kids ar taken. Prob by someone who actually WILL take care of em too, so they lucky.
KISS MY ASS!
I hope this won’t hurt the chances of the next child who really is missing.
You’re all a bunch of middle aged soccer moms who have too much time on their hands when Dr. Phil’s not on. Go make a picnic lunch and take your kids to the park.
Save Evan Trembley!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys make me laugh!
These post’s are so funny!!
There’s a guy talking about how
“young kids of today, need to learn how to spend their time better”
Yet, that guy is so bored, that he is sitting reading all of these comments, and getting mad.
Practice what you preach, buddy!
We have Yvonne talking about using a belt on “Even Trembley”, and in the same sentance, made a reference to the Bible.
If that’s your way of dealing with your kids, beat them while quoting scripture, you’re the one who should be in jail.
Would you rather Evan be like you… A child-abusing minister?
We have others who say that they have missing kids and how offended they are at what this kid did!
Honestly, if you’re kid is missing, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING READING ALL THIS CRAP FOR?? GO TO EVERY TV STATION YOU CAN, AND GET YOU KIDS PICTURE ON THE NEWS, IN EVERY COUNTRY.
Last but not least…
We have “Evan Trembley” making quotes on this site. BS
Do you honestly think he’s actually coming back to this site to comment? He’s probably the most popular kid in his high school, thanks to everyone who’s ragging on him.
He’s probably to busy getting laid.
For those of you who read these chain letters and feel bad and want to join in the fight against child exploitation. Then you should get off this site and your butts, and go down to your local Inner-City drop-in centre, and volunteer, and help educate the young ones on how to be safe.
We live in a society with double income families and the youth are being left to educate them selves. They turn to MTV and Much Music. They believe that what they see on the “tube”. They dress like the Tube tells them to dress and they act like the tube tells them to act. They are even starting to think what the tube tells them to think.
So if you guys were seriously concerend about helping find people missing children, then I think the first step you should take is get out there and hang out with them.
You might not be able to find every missing kid, but you will be able to better enable the youth of today, to be a little more street wise and possibly avoid the very real threat that is out there.
You can’t believe everything on the “net”.
For those who think Evan should be “Jailed”; I think you should read the constitution again. You might find something in there that talks about the freedom of speech.
But the way things are going, Bush will tear that amendment up with the other ones he has already ignored.
I think we all suffere from what Evan was suffering from….
BOREDOM!!!
It is everyone’s own responsibility to check out these emails before you forward them to everyone on your list- if you blindly believe and send them along, you are the one that looks foolish, not the silly kid who started the prank.
Go to the amber alaert website or snopes dot come. Use your brain.
I think most people are actually upset about the fact that they looked foolish for forwarding this email without checking it out first. So how many of you swallowed your pride and sent out corrections once you discovered this to be a fake? Probably not many. As far as a missing child being a joke…no it’s not a funny one but people make jokes about stuff that’s not really funny everyday. And at one time or another each of us have laughed at one of those jokes. It wasn’t the wisest decision for this boy to change the info to his in the myspace bulletin but to say that his parents are bad parents or that charges should be brought against him is a little extreme. What’s funny to me is how everyone says that people should take responsibility for their actions (which I believe too) and yet our society is filled with people who never seem to take responsibility for anything they do. This kid sent out an email and bulletin saying the first one wasn’t true and what happens? It doesn’t spread like wildfire like the first one did…why not?? Because we are not interested in something as boring as the truth and heaven forbid someone find out we were foolish enough to believe a fake email. It’s very easy to pass judgment from behind an anonymous computer keyboard…no one knows you or any of the immature, stupid things you may have done in your life. Oh..I’m sorry if I didn’t understand that you (people posting) are perfect…how silly of me.
WHAT IS RIDICULOUS IS THAT I AM AS STUPID AND BORED AS EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD. I SNOPED IT TO SEE IF IT WAS TRUE OR NOT, AND ENDED UP HERE AND NOW I AM WASTING PRECIOUS TIME I COULD BE DOING SOMETHING BETTER. WE ALL NEED TO GET A LIFE AND LEAVE THIS KID ALONE, WHETHER YOU ARE MAD ABOUT WHAT HE DID OR NOT!
A colleague at work forwarded this email to many distributions list and a hour later the follwing email was forwarded, “Apologies unfortunately this is a hoax I have just received below. DO NOT FORWARD original email message, and if you have done so please let them know it is a hoax. This is now surely putting me off to believe something like this again.
This is really bad to abuse and make people believe this is a genuine call for help.”
209. What are you doing here? Where did Oprah go? Diddums…
You obviously don’t have your own miserable kids to take to the park. Or are yours entertaining themselves like Evan. Hmmm?
210. Zero Cool is actually cool- good on you mate!
211. The people who are on this site who did fwd the email obviously know they did the wrong thing
212. The attitude is about as good as ours, and if we are all fools, why are you posting with the rest of us unperfect people. Aren’t you too good for us?
213. Same. Why don’t you get a life.
214. Thanks for commenting. We are talking and talking about Evan, not eachother like I know I am
I could go back further…
I rest my case
Bulletin boards are getting way too overrun with losers like these people, and I don’t mind admitting, me. At least I’m not scared to admit that.
The person who’s pretending to be Evan, go get a hobby. Fishing is good.
… it wasnt even my buddies fault that this got sent out to everyone in the world. it was between him and his friends and other people got ahold of it. so quit talking out of your booty about something you dont know about. do something productive with your time other then calling a kid names. maybe read a bible? hey thats good.. stay off my friend dudes.
Hey If he was my son ya I’d be pissed but then thankful He’s even alive. But I would seriously have a HUGE talk with him and make it up to everyone instead of grounding him.
you should all be ashamed of yourselves, I’M 15 and even i’m smart enough to google his name before i start forwarding random emails.
THIS is why i hate thick people, this is your fault not his, it was a joke and all you idiots sent it on without a second thought.
So i think a round of aplause to all you dumb asses, i feel sorry for you all! and how depressing is that for you, you are pitied by some one probably much younger than you!
whatever, move on with your lives, the only reaon i’m on here was cause i just opened that email today, thankfully, i’m not going to waste anymore of my time getting worked up over this!
You people who are judging evan are all stupid idiots. its a prank and you are all getting angry about it. it already happened.. and its not like you all went out and looked for him all day. you are pathetic if you think that picking on him is going to make it better. dont you realise that speaking to im like that it only making things worse. i personally didnt forward the email. i googled his name as i do with heaps of stupid chain letters i get. you should all have been smart enough to do that as you are all obviously older than me.. im only 13.. so seriously. get over it and learn to be nice to people who have made mistakes. i have made plenty of mistakes and i know what its like to be ridiculed for it. so leave him alone and get on with your lives.. your all pathetic, horrible people for saying such mean things.
Found him!
He turned up in Charters Towers, an outback town in Australia.
But he’s gone missing again.
Rats!
As a 14 year old can I just say to omg and Mel to please take a little chill pill because I agree with your opinions, but remember we are also trying to say that we are responsible and we aren’t going to be fazed. Which means keeping calm.
Peter- hilarious!
Wow, alot of people are angry at what this kid’s done but think about it, he is/was just a kid. I know if I ever get an email like this one again I would pass it on. If I thought all emails of this nature were hoax and didn’t pass it on because of Evan, then what would happen if a genuine email came through for a missing child and alot of people chose to ignore it?? It really doesn’t take alot to type their name into an internet search engine – this is how I now know that this email was a hoax!
Evan, from your comments, you seem to show no remorse over the harm you have caused probably millions of people worldwide. To those who are defending you, they are within their right to do so, but why are they doing so? I’m not going to insult you or what happened, or even how far out of hand it got, just please, think about what you are doing next time. I have a close friend who has a missing child and even though it is not my child, the anguish I felt immediately when I received this email was terrible. Imagine how it felt for someone who does actually have a missing child. I pray that you NEVER have to feel that pain, but maybe if you had, you would understand the heartache.
I will say, grow up boy, you may think that nobody got hurt by the prank, but that’s BS. You may not have started the emails, but it was due to your actions on your MySpace. I hope that the people out there who do have missing children did not see the emails, but I seriously doubt that. All in all, it was a prank, a stupid one yes, but still a prank. But, for example, how many people were charged and convicted for ‘computer hacking’ pranks? Where does the line get drawn for harmless and harmful pranks?
I forgive you Evan, but I do not forgive the mindless idiots who sent out the first email. However, there will be millions of people across the world who DO NOT!
Just received the email in my inbox in London, England today. I can’t believe it is still going strong a whole year later!
I just recived the email about Evan Trembley being missing and almost sent it to all my friends, but i wasnt to sure if it was real or not so i typer in ‘is Evan Trembley really missing?’ into google and it came up with this website. I am 14 and almost 15 and i really thing pulling a prank like this is just silly! To be reciving this email over two years later makes me really wonder why people do things like this. I really hope that the email about Evan Trembley does stop because there will be people out there really worried about this.
OK people, how about we stop it hear and send this link to anyone that forwards you the email. Evan I hope your life is getting back to normal and you can look back on this as a lesson well learned!
Hey, I live in Australia. I just recieved this email and checked if it was true straight away. I am aware that has been over a year since Evan Trembley sent this email. I understand it was all done in fun with no intention of breaking out and becoming global. Evan, if you read this, I don’t know you from a bar of soap but I must say well done your name is now global. Not the way you intended, but it still happened. I advise anyone that gets the email to return it to your friends informing them it was a joke gone bad so Evan Trembley can have a break. I know if I made a joke like this and it went bad I wouldn’t want this to be the result. Good luck in life Evan. We all make silly errors, I’m sorry yours went global. I hope my email to friends informing it was a joke gone bad slows the spread.

I think we all should grow up even just after this hoax came out. Because internet is accesible to anybody, be it a kid who does’nt know what’s right or wrong, an adult who does stupid things in life, or people who just want to make profit out of spreading hoax like this,, if a story is true, then it would surely be in the papers and news right? and not everybody have access to these kinds of media. What i’m trying to say is, dont believe on what you mostly encounter on your emails,( why not READ NEWSPAPERS, LISTEN TO NEWS IN RADIO, WATCH TELEVISION NEWS!!!) i know everyone of us has received hundreds if not thousands of hoax emails, WHEN SHALL WE ALL EVER LEARN….
How many of you have kids who dont always use their best judement and dont realise the enormity of their actions. I am sure Evan did not wake up one morning and think “hmmm who can i upset today, i know everyone that has a soft spot for missing children”…. i cant imagine he woke up thinking anything but playing a prank on his mates. Did he use his best judgment no, did he consider the seriousness of the situation, probably not, but majority of the comments on this site are just as immature as Evans actions.
As adults you are verbally attacking and belittling what is still legally a child. You throw childish insults and make fun of his english like your all so educated and above him. If your such good people why dont you offer your support to help re-educate him, or your prayers that he can see the error of his ways… or better yet, why not take it for what it is, a silly joke that blew way out of hand and continues to escalate because people like yourselves feed off the negativity and add to it.
Evan I have a 15 year old son, he has done some silly things in his time, your not alone mate, they all do it. I’m sure next time you will probably give it a little more thought tho hey!
I wouldnt even comment any more on what people are saying, they just make themselves look un-educated. They say things in the hope of upsetting you and you “changing” or repeatedly apologising for your actions. But you already did apologise and explain yourself and then your mum tried to do the same, and they didnt want to know about it, it wasn’t good enough for them and that is their problem and in no way yours.
This is sad, its not a joke or a prank. There is nothing funny about this. Its people like him that take away from the time that should be spent on real missing children. Its a waist of government money time and efforts. Stuff like this costs us all money in the long run. You are a very sad young man and should be punished by helping the authorities find real missing children. Maybe then he will appreciate the seriousness of this crime that he has committed. You are a sorry sad excuse for a human being.
Do you think that was funny? What about the people that cared enought to pass it on to try and help you you jerk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t have time to read this all, same as when I sent it without checking. I never dreamt anyone could be so malicious.
Tammy & Evan, I’m sure you’ll be remembered as the biggest pair of misfits/morons by the majority, as well as the side-kicks who support you along with that other young idiot with the yellow sunglasses. You are blaming your friends, that’s wrong, you must take responsibility for your actions. If by chance it was your friends, I wouldn’t call them friends. But you lied about being missing, you are lying about your friends. You are definitely an idiot in need of a good kick where it will hurt. I shake my head, now go and run to your Mum, she’ll defend you, I hope she anticipates that she will be very unimportant to you when you get a girlfriend. With your selfish acts to others, she’s going to find just how unimportant she is to you later. I wish I was a fly on the wall to see that, but I’ll be satisfied with just knowing. Hahahah.
My condolences to the people who have missing kids. I hope you find them well.
To the supposed Emergency Employee that made a lengthy comment: I don’t believe you, you sound as fake as that Evan moron has proven to be. You are part of the problem, condoning such nonsense. No Emergency worker would talk like that, you are a fake. I work in the Vic SES, we are not allowed to make comments like you have, and if you had found a dead missing child like I have, you’d change your tune.
The angry people who write in are in disbelief & shock that anyone could pull such a low prank. And that Tammy, who is supposed to be his Mother, she sounds like she’s trying to be his mate. Where is the father????????????? I can see he’s done a runner because he saw the hopeless battle in the family with Tammy. Well Tammy, wear it, like the rest of us did, you’re as bad as your child. Go to your local psychiatrist.
Now will somebody in that boys life, please teach him some manners, and ‘good will’. When we hear the heart-felt apology that I’m looking for, we’ll accept it as a ’sorry’.
Give him a break, accidents happen and far worse things happen in the world than a teen posting some bulletin on myspace. It wasn’t his fault that it was uncontrollably forwarded and I’m sure he learned from it. Evan and Tammy, don’t listen to the morons slamming you on the internet.
A wise man once said….
“Who are YOU to JUDGE the LIFE I LIVE? I know I’m not PERFECT, and I dont LIVE MY LIFE to be. but before you start pointing finger’s…make YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN!”
Remember every time you point a finger at some you have four pointing back at you!!
Do you
LIE STEAL CHEAT….YES YOU DO THATS WHY GOD SENT JESUS TO DIE FOR OUR SINS.
So here it is…only when one has judged him self can he rightfully judge another…
My big F*#ck…. when I was about 15 I prank called mans house I knew was married and left a message on his machine pretending to be his mistress…Dumb I know Im unsure what I was trying to accomplish then but for all you out there judging Evan saying he will grow up to be failure or a horrible person, I ask can you look your self in the mirror and say you have never committed a crime of any sort. I.e 1.one to many to drink and still drove home.
2.took that pen from the bank( that theft big or small sin is sin and theft is theft) or something from work you could use at home.
3.drove to fast, ran a red light, did stop at the stop sign.
Knowing we ALL have done some or all of the above and more if anyone of those events in or life had ended any different like you hit a kid on a bike when you didnt stop at the stop sign a blew the ran red light and hit an old lady. I hope you get as much mercy as you give better know as KARMA
Im not perfect neither are you!
Live and let live.
Love as you want to be loved for one day we will all be judge by God!
BTW.
I turned out just fine upper middle class with four wonder kids. So what we do when we are 15 DOES NOT DEFINE us when we do actly
opps hit say it by mistake….may I have all your forgiveness???????????
So when we grow up it isent who we were when we were 15 thats why its called GROWING UP!!
Love and Peace
This site is a waste of everyones time, we cant tell anyone else what to do, it was a teenage prank and being a teenager myself I know this is something every teenager does. everyone just stop commenting evan clearly doesnt care wat you all think nor should he have too ill take a random guess and say hes been given shit for it from either his parents or friends and family so end of story its happened do we really want it continueing on another 2 or 3 years……
SO LISTEN UP “ADULTS”! IT’S MYSPACE. GET OVER IT! SOME STUPID TEEN PULLED A DUMB STUNT BY SPREADING THE F*ING BULLITEN!!! WERE 15 YEARS OLD! TELLING US TO GROW UP! THAT’S WHAT WERE IN THE PROCESS OF! DANG! I READ EVERY SINGLE COMMENT! ADULTS CAN BE SO STUPID! CALL ME A BITCH OR WHATEVER. TELL ME I NEED TO GROW UP BUT DAMN! I UNDERSTAND WHERE SOME PARENTS ARE COMING FROM BUT CALLING HIS MOM A BAD MOTHER WAS WAY OUT OF LINE! YA’LL DON’T KNOW ANY OF THEM!!!! YOU ALL GROW THE f*** UP!!! LATER!
The real lessons to learn from this hoax:
1. Anything published on the net is fair game and public. ask those who have lost jobs based on their blogs.
2. Kids make poor choices sometimes.
3. Research an emotional email before you forward it. Here we are over a year later and I am getting this thing. Stop being lemmings and think for yourselves.
4. Anyone who forwarded this has a small responsibility in this boy’s 15 minutes of fame.
Let his mother deal with him. He may have thought it was a fun thing at first but I am sure it has gotten old. I will wager the punishment has fit the crime. I doubt he goes anywhere without someone mentions if he knows he is missing.
this boy is so STUPID!!!!!!
Hey Even, u may not remember me and i somewhat remember u but me and u went to school together a while back, but what u did was i little odd but its ok. cuz to be honest,i think its funny that u did that, something u would do to from what i remember, but to be honest, im on ur side for this one.
love ya miss ya
AND evan, who ever calls u stupid, dumb, dumb ass, fag, loser, dont listen to them. and ur right, they dont know u so they shouldnt be judging u like that. im stil on ur side for this, ur right it was just a prank but ya it got out of hand but people common this was funny and not meant to be out of hang. i dont think u should get punnished for this.
Wow, are people getting worked up about this or what?
It know from experience that it doesn’t take 2 seconds to search his name into Google and realise that it is a fake, I think everyone who sent it along should feel ashamed of themselves. You are the ones that have poured salt into the wounds of those with missing children by spreading it further into more of their paths.
I feel intensely sorry for those who have lost children and were hurt by this, but I think they can stand up for themselves. They do not need other people assuming to know what their views are and hurling abuse at Evan as if that is what they are saying. Allow them to express their own opinions before you comment on them.
Personally I think he has done something completely impossible to most of us out here. When you Google his name it turns out he has over 200,000 links, I’m pretty sure none of you, who enjoy spending your time posting aggressive blogs against a 15 year old boy, could do that.
Admittedly I am posting a blog, but there is a difference between the ones expressing a wish to have him stoned and mine. Surely as adults you could show a little more maturity in your reaction to this and realise that some of the blame is rested on your own shoulders. Swearing and threats are not affective ways of arguing/debating. Most of the time it will just undermine the rest of your argument as people are more likely to focus on those points and only see you as an aggressive person who is unable to articulate a proper argument.
As a 16 year old I can understand how this could have started. It sounds exactly like something one of my friends would do and, like Evan, they would have no intention of allowing it to go from their blog into a forward that would spread this far. I am sure all of you have been 15 once and should therefore be able to understand as well. I only have to assume that you are lying if you say that you would never have dreamed of making a joke on your private myspace profile for your friends benefit only when you were that age.
Sorry Evan that you have to put up with the rubbish that you do. Hopefully some day people will regret judging you so harshly, and assuming that this incident will shape the rest of your life.
Ok, I’m done. Now that I have expressed my opinion I can move on. I hope that others (particularly those who have been commenting very negatively) can take example and now move on too.
After receiving this e-mail for the 4th time I finally googled it. I was concerned as he showed as a boy from our neighbourhood in Canada. I asked our kids if anyone knew him, nope – then I read it closer and thought wait – this is just not real, and if this boy was missing we would know. As there was a boy recently missing 50 miles from here and everyone knew – unfortunately that poor boy was found, dead. Missing children are no joke – and I can’t believe anyone would think of such a cruel hoax – teenager or not.
This last time I received it, I took the time and did a google search and there were many sites pop up about this boy. Seems to me a lot of people are being unnecessarily rude. But, I also believe that Evan himself (if that is indeed him posting here) could be a little more mature about this. One thing about growing up is taking responsibility for your actions, and not to make excuses or blame other people for them. Many adults still need to learn this. And yes, I know teenage boys – I have a few of my own.
it is January 2009 and this email is still circulating. So much for 15 minutes of fame. Hoax replies were sent to everyone on the list. Hopefully this (very wrong) prank will be eradicated some day.
Maybe Evan and his ‘friends’ should spend a day or two at the HQ of Amber Alert just to see how important it is that when real alerts are given, they are taken notice of – and how dangerous it is to hoax this kind of thing. I agree he and his friends should spend more time learning how to write properly with punctuation and grammar! That’s all Yall!
lol i just got this messae and i looked his name up online which is weird i know but i do it all the time. moral of the story……dont believe everything you read. bahahahahahaha:)
-saler anne-
Why cant we just Love this guy.
you know i do agree he is 15!!
people need to stop commenting this it was a myspace ting god he is 15 stop saying grow up cause come on im 16 and listen wer in the proses of growing up hello news flash!!
haha get a life and sop herassing this boy and his family!!
do you people really want this kid to be depressed for the rest of his life?
wow.
yea, definitely agree with the 2 above me (:
Why isn’t this kid getting probation??? you shouldn’t make up false amber reports. there are REAL missing people out there. Loser. he should be fined at least!
You’re a loser to even joke and use the Amber alert. that is for real missing children. I’m sure you had nothing better to do than try to make up dumb jokes. Your crappy txt came to my phone today. So obviously people are still forwarding it. Grow up dude. You should get proby.
There are some people that believe txts and emails like this. That’s the problem. If it is still circulating then some do. I had a text the other day about a missing boy and he really was missing. The circulation of that txt helped a woman find her son. The point here is that these “jokes” are not funny. There is no difference between using the Amber Alert and saying “I have a bomb”. I just hope Evan and his family see the extent of what this “joke” has done…now over a year later.
I actually received it in a text message. It’s crazy to think kids have to do things like this for attention. I have a 15 year old son and he knows better !! It’s a sad thought that our heart breaks for emails of sick or missing children and then to have the one that are lies. What are the people in this world thinking ????
This is a pretty sad popularity stunt by evan trembley. All he obviously wanted to do was get his picture all around the internet so he could be a popular person in real life…”Oh your that boy that was missing! OMG i sent that email to everyone im so glad your safe” blah blah blah. You make friends by being who you are and hoping that people like who you are. I think Evan Trembley is a punk and if he was mature enough to relaize that missing children are at the top of adults worry list then you would of never pulled the trigger on this. Lets hope you dont end up like the kid who cried wolf.
I just want to give Evan some props. I actually know him in real life and he is a great kid. I can’t believe people are still talking about this two years later! It’s crazy that email is still being sent around. Everyone who is so personally offended by this “accident” let me promise you that Evan has learned from his mistakes, he is a wonderful, responsible teenager! To those who have lost a child, I’ll be praying for you and your child.
Whoa you all are really trippin’ …… through the years. I don’t know what kind of drugs ur takin’, but they’re kickin all your respective asses.
TAKE A BREAK and tell yourself
IT”S ONLY THE DRUGS
You all need to calm down a wee bit
Evan, your a joke to society. I hope you get what you desirve, maybe now that you brought all this attention on, some one might really kidnap you. I feel sorry for a silly boy like your self, grow up and live your own life. Your going to have to realize that being the most popular person in HIGH SCHOOL, is just that.
I would love to see the Justice System make an example out of you and hang our a** out to dry, kid or teenager. Kids half your age are in Juvi for things less than this. One day, you will look back on this and realize how dumb it was, and hopefully you will publicly appoligize to everyone who actualy gave a sh** about you!
And if this wasn’t bad enough, now there is another hoax for Carissa Malanitch going around using the same txt as Evan’s. This is all just so pathetic, so these stupid kids can get their picture on the internet. And for all of you that think this is “no big deal”, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Now we get messages like this and delete, where a real child could be in danger. But now we have to google first. The law enforcement needs to get more involved and actually press charges on these disgusting people.
haha yall are still talking about this? this was years ago people.and you need to quit bad mouthing evan because you dont know the first thing about him. as if he meant for this to be some nation wide thing. no. he sent this to his friends. and they sent it off. wow yall look stupid.
i was emailed about this person me like a shmock emailed to loads of people then i read the comments how daft is this person to do this, imagine all these poor people whon are in fact missing. maybe he was taken by aliens

Now you think, while we were all sending this email out to each other and around the world how many children really went missing, and how many children died, Then you read that the kid wont be charged for his actions? Is that not like calling 911 when you really dont need any help? He should be charged and shouldnt be aloud with a computer or a life that his parents dont know about! This makes me sick, of a mother of two children i would be shocked to find one of my children doing something like this, and yes they would be grounded for LIFE!
Wow, I can’t believe the comments left on this page! How I clearly understand that missing children are no joke, we are talking about a 15 year old BOY and it being something that was supposed to stay between him and his personal friends. Amazing how all you so called ADULTS are so quick to judge this boy AND his parents. What part of HE IS A 15 YEAR OLD BOY AND IT WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE A PUBLIC EMAIL don’t you understand? It’s funny to listen to all of you complain about forwarding this email all over the states and world. I too am a mother, but I also realize that most of the crap that comes through on emails has either been circulating for years or is just plain false. Even true amber alerts circulate long after the person is found. My point being if YOU are the one to forward an email to your address list then maybe YOU should make sure the email is legitimate first. I got this email today and took a whole 2 seconds to Google on it and see if it was a legitimate email… it’s not that hard people. I don’t personally feel the boy needs to apologize to anyone, it was never anything he created for ANY of you to see. Just be glad it isn’t true… one less child that is missing these days!
hello! The babes are here! This is my best site to visit. I make sure I am alone in case I get too hot. Post your favorite link here.
I think it’s time to stop giving Evan and his mom so much attention and divert to a more productive purpose in our lives. The more attention we give them regarding this matter is just giving him more popularity. Is that what we really want to give him? Notoriaty?
He had his moment of “Fame in Shame” and now I think we ALL should leave this site forever.
Good Luck Evan.
I hope that little coc* sucker goes missing for real
Google everthing, coz when you forward these hoax emails YOU are the dick! Without the idiots who forward them they would cease to exist. Evan, you know you did wrong. Just ignore this stuff and get on with life. You MUST have learned a lot. Its two years later and now the copycats are more of a worry.
Yep! If I was his mother, I would take away all his electronics for an unstipulated length of time. Obviously has no respect nor thoughtfulness about anything outside his own imature skin. Needs labour intensive job to keep him out of trouble now and in his future.
Just recieved the emergency mail of a missing chid today, and sent it without thinking it to be a hoax to over 100 people, now I have to rewrite to each individual for sending out your garbarge, what comes around goes around in this world, one day you will be sorry that so many cared for you, and you would make fools out of us all. People reap what they sow, and don’t you ever forget that, sf
