HAMPTON, Va (WAVY) - A viewer called 10 On Your Side in tears when she saw Marine Jason Haag's struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder on WAVY.com . She said her own son has PTSD and disappeared six years ago.
Shawn Mason's Mom posted his picture on Facebook and started an AOL account in his name. Ursula Stanley has searched everywhere.
"I called Social Security Administration and the only thing they told me 'we can tell you your son is not listed as dead'," Stanley told WAVY.com.
Mason, a chopper mechanic, enlisted after 9-11. Stanley said the Army sent him to Afghanistan right away, then to Iraq.
"One day he called me and he said 'Mama if I would have stood one meter to the right I would have been dead right now' because he said the bullet came up the Chinook and out on top."
According to Stanley her son couldn't take it. At age 30 he got a medical discharge, sold his home and disappeared. She hopes he's living on the streets, because she just can't consider the alternative.
