Missing boy’s whereabouts still unknown

Oct. 8, 2013 Staff Report

The 14-year-old boy who went missing in Long Island City on Friday has NOT been found, despite reports that he had been spotted him in Harlem this afternoon.

Authorities initially said that Avonte Oquendo, the missing boy, had been found. But within minutes of the announcement, police said they had made a mistake and that the child was not Oquendo.

Oquendo, who has autism, was last seen leaving Center Boulevard School, which is located at 1-50 51st Avenue, around 12:30 p.m Friday. Police have been searching subway tunnels and local hospitals, according to reports, after he didn’t appear over the weekend.

I have been praying for this young boy to been founded. My prayers go out to him and the Family. I even went to church and lite a candle for him. So God could direct him for some one to spot this young boy.

Why hasn’t the police used dogs to smell his scent.

My prayers again.

Maybe time to advertise outside of Hunters Point?

I’m not seeing any publicity outside of local blogs and local newspapers.

I hope he’s found soon.

Negotiations regarding the New York State budget have just concluded a few days ago and a budget has passed after more than two weeks of delays. But while Gov. Kathy Hochul has proclaimed this year’s ‘bold agenda’ aims to make New York ‘safer,’ there hasn’t been so much as a whisper about the safety issue New Yorkers actually care about – New York States’s dangerous bail reform laws and the State’s absence of a ‘dangerousness standard,’ which would allow judges to detain without bail those defendants that pose a present a clear and present danger to our communities. (The 49 other states and the federal government have a dangerousness standard. NY State is the only state that lacks this essential protection from the State’s most dangerous offenders.)
