Oh I don't like it when a child with autism goes missing near water Really hope this lad is found safe somewhere, but it's not looking good

It sounds very odd that 7 went for a walk and 6 came back. How old is the oldest? I know that info isn't released, but if the oldest was 8, it's understandable. If the oldest is 16, it's odd. Police are looking at all possibilities at this time.

Yeah but even an 8 year old is usually taught to keep an eye on the child with extra needs. Kind of a natural process in the family.

I agree something seems weird, hopefully it’s just the reporting

Very curious about the 6 siblings.

To directly answer your question, it appears it wasn’t noticed he was missing until he didn’t return with the others but nothing more than this has been released -

Officials say Macdougall was camping in the area with his family.

He went for a walk with six of his siblings a short distance from their campsite but became separated from the group.

“Darius was not among the ones that returned,” said Sgt. Mark Amatto, detachment commander of Crowsnest Pass RCMP, in a Monday news conference. “They went back to the site, searched for a good time before calling 911 and search and rescue was deployed immediately.”

I wonder if they split into two groups, and each group thought Darius was with the others? Poor kids, I hope they don't blame themselves
