another child was missing (he was just found this morning)

Location

a phone call in which a mother doesn't want to hear

a ringing of disdain that lead to sorrows and uncertainty

nightmare terror wandering if her child was going to be the next victim

another autistic child

access to vulnerability prey by sex offenders

wandering aimlessly in the streets of brooklyn, ny

mom pleading for help

determine to find her child

through source of will, flyers posted in the community

breaking news

this morning  at 7am

he was found

how or where? no one knows at this point

at least he'll come home to a safe haven

where love and nurture doesn't come with a price

one thing for sure

the school didn't notify the mom

somebody is going to pay for it  

too much careless decisions with kids running out of the school building 

and possibly in harms way

remind yourself, if that was your child, what would your reaction be if you were to find out

that your child is missing
