This breaks my heart. My prayers are with his family.

As a pool attendant, these autistic kids run for the water as fast as they can and absolutely YEET themselves in before they can be caught. One child in particular I learned to position myself between the pool and the parking lot to catch him as he leaped from the car before the mom could even put it in park.

My four-year-old grandson has autism and doesn't talk very much how dare the reporter ask how the mother feels how the f*** do you think she feels Poor little boy and I feel so bad for his parents my heart Hurts just thinking about it All it takes is 1 second these kids are full of energy and don't underestimate them kids with autism are very intelligent

Volusia County Police, was all night, non stop searching, I do live 4 minutes from there, we receive automatic calls and text, you can see the Helicopters and drones all night. imo. if they didn't find him, is because he was already dead at the time search started (almost immediately), so sorry to the family, kudos to VSO.

Neglect is not always obvious!! I am very torned with this case because I PERSONALLY RETURNED this boy to he's dad because he was outside wandering around, he was close enough to he's house that I chose the correct home to knock on the door and he's dad made the oddest of comments" he does it all the time, he's autistic" I'm doubtful to say the least to make a comment here JIC.... hint: this didn't have to happen!! If it was my family member i wouldve happily donated just a few good locks in specific places can make a life or death difference in such case but thats just my opinion ,If anyone that's doing anything about this has any questions for me feel free to ask here and I'll be happy to answer but...I would look into the WHOLE situation!!! 🙏I hope this reaches the right person.
