i believe some inside the school did something to him the video look like he was running something he did not like and did not know how to go about it the school knows most than it seen sorry to say a lots of child molesting happen in schools. and they could have run caught him outside take him to keep his parents from finding out. I feel for the parents
I think that the police view all the camera videos in the area that were in the direction he was running. Maybe this give them a better lead in were to look
Judy I was thinking the same thing about calling out his name with bull horns and even sending out ice cream trucks because I know my son hears them from a distance stops everything to see where it is coming from
Police were out with a bull horn all day Sunday calling his name and asking for information. I pray he is found safe and sound very soon.
Have the police thought about going through the neighborhoods in search of Avonte by using a vehicle with a bull horn and calling out his name. If he is frightened and hiding, hearing his name might bring him out in the open. Actually, all searchers should be calling out his name. Just a thought. I hope he is found safe very soon. Thank You.
