Prayer request

Mominohio — Sat, 19 Mar 2016 00:33:18 GMT

Received a reverse 911 call that a 14 year old autistic boy is missing in our rural area. Helicopters in the air and rescue personnel combing the woods, fields and ponds in our area.

Darkness just fell, and by the looks of the intensity of the search, they haven't found him.

I don't know the family, but would be sick with worry if it were my child. I have been out searching our property and doing what I can.

For those who are so inclined, please send up a prayer for this family, that he is found. Temps are falling into the 30's tonight, I believe.

Thanks, and will update if we hear he is found.

Asking GOD to spread his arms over this young man and protect him and keep him safe. Hopefully, GOD will guide him back to his family quickly.

Our Heavenly Father,

We come together asking you, dear God for the safe, unharmed return of one of Your precious missing flock.

Please Lord, give this beloved and frighten family courage and the strength through this very dark storm of fear, and to have a wonderful closure for this young son to be safely returned, unharmed to his waiting family loved ones.

In God we trust.

Amen

Another call came through in the ten o'clock hour, asking residents to go through their barns and out buildings, looking for the missing boy,

As of 11:30 pm we were still hearing helicopters and state police and sheriff cars were going up and down these dark wooded country roads with flood lights looking.

We walked our property and woodline again looking. I'm guessing that there will be no more calls tonight, as it is late, and not hearing anything else as of yet.

Update

They did find the boy, this morning about an hour or so ago.

They suspended the search last night at about 2:30 am or so. We were out with some others, checking abandoned houses and Amish phone booths (that is another lesson for those unfamiliar with them!).

The search resumed this morning, but he was found shortly thereafter.

The story at this point is that he is in foster care in this area, but was maybe trying to get about 60 miles south of here to where his mother is located. Not sure how accurate that is, but coverage of these things here isn't always what those of you in bigger cities are used to. Because he is a minor and in the system, we may never get full details. What is important is that I hope they can figure out a way for this not to happen with him again. It has been rumored that he has tried to take off before.

It is very sad, that when people hear autism, they think little kids, but those little kids grow into teens and adults, and the challenges get bigger as they do. They get harder to help and protect.

At any rate, thanks everyone for your prayers and concerns, and it was a well spent late night, knowing that he is safe now.

Yes, this is the one.

Was rather miffed last night when they called off the search (although it did begin again this morning) as they offered up no information on the suspension and where the search stood. All we could do was get some sleep, and start again this morning when they resumed.
