This is very close to me, I just got the text alert on my phone.

What troubles me is the interval. It's the 20th today and the text alert only went out to the phones now.

For context as to why I'm concerned - today is the first day of school after the two week Easter holiday between terms one and two.

I want to know who last saw this kid outside his immediate family, and when that was.

MOO

Last seen getting off a bus in central St Mary's, which is a long way from Bringelly Rd, Kingswood, where he may have been sighted walking at 5am three days later.

Dennis has an intellectual disability.

Dennis has an intellectual disability.

Strange that he would be able to come back to Kingswood from St Mary (if the Bringelly rd sighting is correct) but not to his home.

I wonder if he is trying to avoid going back home for some reason.

ETA: wonder if he has a phone.

The thing is, it's an excessively long walk, if walk he did.

Short via train, though, but then you'd expect one of the first things they'd do would be check the cctv from the stations, and a kid in a Bulldogs jersey would stand out in Panthers country.

Having a look at maps and bus routes (since he was seen coming off the bus in St Mary's), I've noticed that both at the intersection of King's st and Queen st in St Mary and on Bringelly rd transits the bus for route 770, and also route 774 just a few meters further up the road in Queen st and Bringelly rd.

So my guess is that he used one of those routes to move around.

I sure hope they are looking at CCTVs in buses too.

If he took the bus, he probably went right past my house, then. 770 is super regular. 774 less so, I think. It's been a few years since I took the bus; COVID and the years that followed have left me pretty shut in.

A Facebook post said he's been safely located, but the post was removed so not sure if it is true or not.

I think it's legit. This from NSW Police.
