Everyone whose saying arrest a parent or how do you lose an eight year-old unless you’ve dealt with autistic children you have no right to mention anything about that you have no idea what it’s like and how quick it can happen

@jbk757 this is the second time that he is missing he went missing back in February as well

I have an autistic nephew, while watching him with my sister he escaped the house. We hadn’t realized for about an hour because we both thought he was with the other sister. That was on us, but autistic children love to run and leave even while someone is with him. While my brother was actively watching him and next to him, my nephew would run open doors and walk down the stairs in an attempt to run out of the house. Nobody that hasn’t experienced how an autistic child can act and what they could do, please don’t speak about bad parenting. Yes he should’ve been watched more attentively but having and caring for an autistic child itself is very draining and is done with hard work

If you don’t know what is an autistic child don’t comment! Autistic child is dealing with a lot and you want to protect them at all cost but you don’t want to over bear them because they will get agitated and with more anxiety! Do you know what happened for you to ask where are his parents?
