Analysis
Children Si Fire is the Use Spirit; Si points southeast. The reciprocal hexagram contains Gen (mountain, temple); Zhen/Xun are Wood (trees). The Use Spirit not moving means he doesn't want to return. Line 6 Mao Wood is hidden-moving, meets the day-stem in thriving phase, and produces the Use Spirit — so he is safe. The Use Spirit is in Empty Decade; once it leaves Empty, he will be found.
Actual outcome
The nephew was found in a temple. He didn't want to come home — he wanted to stay and study qigong.
