He got himself to a hospital.. I’m thankful to god
@BrooklynUser581223005 yes, Allah’s work
He was found
Pictures should be required and this should be an amber alert when kids with autism go missing. I don’t understand why they don’t do this.
@gloriarrocks it’s because Citizen app must get permission from the family to upload picture of the child… the family doesn’t even know citizen app posted this. Citizen app just gets the call report from 911-NYPD and posts what they know. They literally uploaded a missing 12 year old who had been found for hours already. And they put her picture up for no reason
Please lord find this teenager safe
