"I started checking around and checking around. I checked for 10 to 15 minutes. I couldn't see Mohemed. So I called the Park Ranger. Before that, I called 9-1-1," Mohemed's grandfather Soleymane Fofane told reporters Monday.

"If you saw Mohemed, please help me," said Mohemed's mother Macenjay Fofane. "Help me to give it to me, my little baby, please. Please. He doesn't have a daddy here. I'm here with my kids. Please, please people, help me find Mohemed for me."

Hope he is found soon, but any young child lost near a body of water sounds bad !
And autistic children are sometimes drawn to water, iirc ?
His poor worried mom and family !
