Two major tech founders, Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake, expressed gratitude after their 16-year-old child, Mint Butterworth, was found safe in a van in San Francisco days after going missing. Mint, who uses they/them pronouns, had voluntarily left home and was discovered with an acquaintance named Christopher “Kio” Dizefalo. The family thanked law enforcement and condemned Dizefalo’s actions, with Mint now back with their family and Dizefalo arrested. The authorities, including the Marin County Sheriff’s Office and San Francisco Police Department, were praised for their efforts in ensuring Mint’s safe return.
