AL AL - Jason Sims, 15, autistic, Fairfield, 13 Feb 2015

Why isn't the other child not being looked for? Do we have any info on him or her?

They are looking for him. But he doesn't seem to exist, so we don't know who they are looking for. No pictures, no information.

Do you mean the youngest child? That child was found.

 

[granola]

I didn't even think about if the child wasn't NW's, maybe the youngest isn't either? That's an interesting angle if you're trying to find the "why" behind the kids sent to school and not sent to school. Also interesting is that if the other children have another parent/family involved with their lives, they couldn't drop off the radar.

But I would think whatever relatives were keeping all three of the younger ones would wonder why the youngest wasn't in school and report it... well, maybe they did, we don't know who reported them to CPS.

So 3 out of 4 are accounted for? Sorry, this one is confusing!

That ramp thing on the back does have a 2 step access on the left side. On the same side of the house there I think that's a basement access/entry. If you go around (using google street view) to the front of the house, you can see a window a/c unit in the first window on the left side of the house.

snipped by me- it does have both a ramp and steps. This ramp is unusable as a wheelchair ramp, though, as there is no access. It would be difficult to navigate a wheelchair through that hilly grass.

Where is missing autistic teen Jason Sims Jr.? Police fear worst, hope for best

The father of a missing Fairfield teen remains mum about the whereabouts of his autistic son, and therefore will remain behind bars. Jefferson County Circuit Judge Lorraine Pringle today ordered Jason Sims Sr. to continue to be held while she and investigators try to find the teen boy that many never even knew existed. "We are looking for a fragile 15-year-old child who probably only weighs 60 pounds,'' Pringle told AL.com today. "I'm a parent, I've raised two children, I have sub temperatures outside and I don't know where a 15-year-old autistic child is."

Fairfield police last week announced the disappearance of Jason Sims Jr. in what they described is one of the most bizarre situations they've encountered. "I have never seen anything like it,'' Fairfield police Chief Leon Davis said in an earlier interview. "It's one of those made-for-TV kind of things where people make up the strangest thing they can and then write a story about it."

Following this very bizarre story.

 

[JeannaT]

Me too, KJ's mamu.

Looking at the picture above, at one point this child was a healthy 4 year old. I don't know what's making LE say they're looking for a 60 pound 15 year old. Obviously - as always - they have information they're not releasing and is making the public unaware of where to look for clues.

 

[Ontario Mom]

Every earlier msm article said exactly the same thing "Jason Sims Jr. is said to be 5-foot-6, 125 pounds and have a light skin complexion".

Now we're to be looking for a 60 pound child? That's a HUGE difference. And the most recent image of him was TEN years ago??? There is no way anyone would recognize this boy today, based on the images they've released of him. They're 10 years old, and all grainy at best.

UGH!

 

[charminglane]

I have been praying that this child did not live in that doghouse.
Hence the 60 lbs.

 

[JerseyGirl]

Police plan to search the house again Thursday, to see if they can find any other clues. Police are urging anyone with information, to contact them.

I didn't see a dog house, but I may have missed something.

 

[Ontario Mom]

In some of the first articles to come out on this case, the mom was said to have not known for sure the last time she saw him. I think there's a lot of speculation going on about this case because SHE was found unresponsive in the yard on that day. I honestly think this kid died a long time ago, and for some odd reason she mentioned him when she was taken to the hospital.

I could be way off here, but family not even knowing he existed? Neighbors never saw him? No pics in the last 10 years? Nope... I think he's been gone a while. I could be wrong, but this case broke the Hinky Meter.

"On January 23, Wright was found unconscious at the home. Three days later, three of the children were found with relatives in Mulga and placed in DHR's custody. Wright, who remains in the hospital, briefly regained consciousness and asked authorities about her teen son. She said the last time she was him, he was at their home. She was not able to say when she last saw him.

http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/index.ssf/2015/02/autistic_fairfield_teen_disapp.html

I don't believe for a moment the boy went missing on that same day.

 

[charminglane]

Exactly.
He's been gone a very long time.
Like around when he was last weighed at 60 lbs. age.

 

[granola]

I suspect they are really hoping dad either gave this child to a couple or sold him, but they pretty much have a good guess as to what happened, because there is not a lot to go on here... how is NW recovering? Maybe she has more info?

I'm starting to believe your 'theory' about the child being gone as in deceased. Definitely ranks high on the Hinky Meter! I'm so baffled though it's like watching a Lifetime movie. Can't wait to hear more. And hopefully if there is a child, alive, he is ok.

Search continues for missing autistic teenager

The search continues for a 15-year-old autistic boy who was last seen nearly a month ago. A district judge is now getting involved in the search for Jason Sims Junior. Judge Lorraine Pringle says they're actively trying to locate Jason. She's now calling on all the municipalities to help and believes someone knows where he is. She also believes his father, who is jail on neglect and abuse charges, knows too.

"Officers tried to arrest the couple in October 2014 at their home on 59th Street, but the family had moved. About four months later, Natasha Wright was found unconscious at the same Fairfield home on Jan. 23. On Jan. 26, police found three of her four children with a relative in Mulga. However, her teenage son Jason Sims Jr. has not been seen since. Wright says the last time she saw him he was at their home on 59th Street. "

Not that I'm looking for this story to get ANY weirder, but how often does someone move out of a house, but then show up there 4 months later to be found unconscious suffering from viral meningitis? I mean... really? If they moved in October, WHERE did they move to? And if they moved in October, and the mother says the last time she saw her son at the house on 59th... wouldn't that make the last time she saw him in OCTOBER, when they lived there?

Just TOO many questions and not enough answers.

Other stories have mentioned that they moved out because there were neglect charges/arrests pending and they knew it. I think they moved out until police stopped looking and then came back.
