Police are playing a recording of Avonte Oquendo's mother out of emergency response vehicles hoping the boy wil hear it.

The message says, "Hi Avonte, it's mom. Come to the flashing lights Avonte."

I am checking in this morning to look for updates regarding Avonte ....

I am glad Texas Equisearch is "on board" helping to find him...

The news of emergency vehicles using his mother's voice and words to send a message to Avonte is such a terrific idea.... But breaks my heart at the same time.... :heartbeat:

I hope today is the day he is found...:please:
 
Per Avonte's brother Texas Equisearch will be in New York tomorrow to help in the search for Avonte!!!

Where was Al Sharpton On October 4th?
I remember the Tawana Brawley debacle.

Sorry I don't like Rev Al!

But if he can help at all what the hay!
 
This is good people are still looking and searching to find him.

I have a question?
Do U really think he is Terrified?
Or is he on an adventure if he is alive and well.

I think if he was roaming around out there we would have found him by now!
someone would notice him.

I don't think this will have a happy ending but I pray im wrong!

Just my :twocents:

I have to agree with you about Sharpton, but maybe this time he will do some good.

I was thinking to myself what causes a boy like this to take off in the first place. I do think at first, they probably like the adventure of it, and they dont realize the risks. They probably dont realize that others worry about them, and to them, it maybe like a game at first.

But after a few days of being out on their own and getting hungry, I sadly think their adventure turns to fear and anxiety. I hope he is found soon. I hope he has found food and water and I hope he is somewhere that is safe.

I am not giving up hope on this boy, and hope he turns up very soon. It is such a very sad situation. We have to find this boy soon. Somebody must have seen his last whereabouts.

Unfortunately most autistic children have no fear of danger at all. They have no idea that running into traffic can kill you or that jumping into water you could drown.

"No fear of danger - the autistic child has no concept of "what is dangerous" and, unfortunately, for too many parents, this has resulted in the death of their child."

I'm not a big fan of Rev Al, but overall I think he has done more good than harm in NYC. (Brawley was 1987, hardly a milestone. The girl lied about a rape and was sued for defamation. She just started paying her victims this year.) Sharpton Paid his dues to Pagones, a cool $65,000, in 2001. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...-to-repay-lawyer-she-falsely-accused/2618399/
 
14 Days and nothing ?
Not sounding good, hope he is found ok
