It's too far for any 5 year old to walk alone, disability or not, and not be noticed.
Especially with leg braces on, which I assume are quite visible...People would be stopping him to ask where his mother was, etc.

Biological mom of missing boy talks

ETA: It appears mom has her own disabilities. She has CP as well.

That poor little kid didn't stand a chance being raised by any of these people, sorry to say. He looks so bright and innocent.
Just my opinion.

It is entirely possible the aunt truly believes he's been abducted.
But am I wrong in thinking there is absolutely no proof he ever was in the car that day? I still look to the foster dad, sorry to say - no blood ties to the kid, and expecting a baby "of his own"...
If the aunt is innocent and her husband is not... Oh man, I feel so bad for that woman.
The aunt is pregnant? I missed seeing that...

As far as the parking issue: Rockridge is a very busy area of Oakland and the curb in front of the store might have been occupied. I agree though, it is a little hinky to park in back AND leave the child there.
Because it is such a busy and highly trafficked area, it seems like someone would have had to see Hassani being abducted, if that was what happened.
The fiance and the aunt are in the process of adopting Hassani. So I would assume that both are foster parents. The aunt is pregnant.
I haven't read this (or, if I did, I forgot), but some CP folks also have speech impediments - how is Hassani with verbal communication?
(Also, I had to correct that from "was"... I need to tell my worst instincts to behave and hope for the best here. Such a beautiful little child - hope he's safe.)

Do we have a link for this?
It was in the first news stories.
They said she is six months along.
She looks pregnant in the video.

That's not necessarily true. Most of the people that I know (myself included) who wore braces would put them under their clothes. It might make him look a little heavier, but if you didn't know him it might be hard to notice.
That being said, I agree that MOST people who saw a 5 yr old walking around would go to help him.
IMO since LE is searching the park close to home, they have reason to believe he was never in the car to begin with.
