This is very strange. No name of the child but some pictures and video



  • Gold or silver, 4-door
]Tacoma Police Department is looking for an unidentified 10 year old white male, thin build, dark hair, wearing a blue sweat top and blue sweat pants. The child is accompanied by an unidentified 50 year old white male, 5 feet 6 inches tall, medium build, grey beard wearing tan fedora hat, sunglasses, a red checkered flannel shirt and blue jeans. The male reportedly duct taped the child and placed him in a gold or silver 4-door vehicle that resembles a 2017 Toyota Camry and fled the area southbound from Delong Elementary School at 4901 s 14th street in Tacoma.

Who managed to get that picture through that fence? Seems there is a witness and why didn't they stop him? Hope this boy is found quickly!

Wow, so scary. He was seen by "a group of children".

That pic is creepy. The guy obviously knows someone is watching him. He looked right at the person taking the pic.

A group of students who were hanging out after school happened to look up and spot the man, who had already duct taped the boy's legs as he sat on the ground. "He was duct taping his legs together and possibly his hands to his thighs," police spokeswoman Loretta Cool said.

The students pulled out their cell phones and started recording. They called 911 after the man drove the boy away in what appeared to be a gold or silver four-door sedan. Police said the car looks similar to a Toyota Camry.

I hope they can track his car via surveillance cameras and get a license plate number.

No reports of a missing child. None.

This is freaking me out just a bit. So weird.

Nothing makes sense.

Oh wow. This one hit home. My son has autism and he has behaviors but dang. I’d be livid if that was my son. I’m livid for this child. Restraining with duct tape isn’t ‘safe’ or acceptable. I can not believe anyone can be ok with that.

Sources told Q13 News the boy was autistic and running into traffic, and the boy’s grandfather was restraining him to take home to his mother.

Wow! Struggling with the thought of duct tape restraints...but I've never had to be in charge of an autistic child either.
