It was mentioned here before that the Dad could be autistic himself. Add diabetes and you could explain alot of his behaviour.jmo

In this interview, Ian says he’s taken Maddox to Rankin Lake Park before.
“Ian Ritch says he and his son often go for walks in North Carolina's Rankin Lake Park like they did Saturday. Maddox, 6, will regularly run ahead of his father, then slow down and wait for him to catch up.”

I can understand the adults wanting to visit different parks. When I first moved to the town where I now live, whenever my family visited I would take them to a park -- sometimes in town or as far as 1-2 hrs away.Hold on, dad Ian lives in Concord? I saw that mom Carrie lives in Concord as well. Gastonia is definitely out of the way... How long have mom and dad been separated for? If the separation is new, maybe he or she live closer to Gastonia in a rental or with a friend.
Is Rankin Lake Park a popular place? The big, well known parks that come to mind are Romare Bearden and Freedom parks. I'm southeast of Charlotte, whereas Concord is about northeast...and would have no reason to go on the complete other side of town for just any, "run of the mill" park, even to get a change of scenery.
It looks like Rankin Lake park has your standard amenities, plus the fishing and boating, but they weren't there for fishing or boating...Obviously that's not to say you can't visit a park if you're not boating, but that's strange to me that someone would drive an hour away to a park. Maybe the girlfriend lives there so it was more convenient to meet up there?
Do they regularly check out new parks? Or stick to a handful of usual ones? Why this park on that day? I would like to think that it was an innocent "throw a dart at the map" decision.
Not accusing or theorizing, just brainstorming and sharing thoughts.
Not confirmed yet my media or LE, but if I true, I pray the little darling is alive!Has he been found?
Edited to reflect the update .
If LE are pouring out of the park -- he was found elsewhere ?

But, people with autism like routine. If this was out of routine for Maddox, I can see him getting very excitable, especially with a lot of strangers around. So, Maddox running off in that situation would not be unusual. And kids with autism are very fast, and very strong. Once they get away, they can be very difficult to catch (in my experience). So, he should have been closely watched, especially if this was new to him.
