I'm sorry for your loss. It's so hard to comprehend or say the right words. I'm very sad for you and your family but as another person said the pain is over. I hope your great=grandson is happy and in peace now.

So sad; poor little guy.

And how typical that the lynch mob mentality has already judged and found the father guilty with barely any facts. Disgusting, really.

@grandma r Just wondering about something. I've known 2 people with autistic children and never heard that they are drawn to water. The two kids I knew weren't and one especially disliked pools, beaches, etc.

Where does this information come from? Just curious.

My daughter has an ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and I can't say overall she was more drawn to water. I think children in general are drawn to it.

But my neighbor's grandson had severe autism. When he was there, he would spend 95% of his time playing in their birdbath. He did many dangerous things, like run across the street. One day, some neighbors behind us returned him from their house. He had just walked in, and he did many dangerous, impulsive, things. We returned him from across the street many times. And they were aware and vigilant with him. It only takes a second.

I did not follow this story, but since I have experience with autism, I feel awful and don't necessarily blame anyone just yet.

yes, my grandson is also autistic and one of his therapists recommended swim lessons early on as they are drawn to water...At leas tthat is where WE heard it...

We did the same with my daughter because no matter what we said about danger, she was impulsive about it. Took her to many swimming lessons!

My five year old autistic great-grandson drowned five months ago. No one was blamed for the accident.

It is so sad what we are letting happen to children today in this country. Everyday there is another story of abuse and worse. Lets all pray for the most vulnerable in our society and the true loves of our lives.

Our news station said last evening that dad was with a female friend at the park. My guess is a new love interest.

From day one I suspected that dad had a hand in the disappearance.

@Carmie, me too. From the first time I saw the father speaking about his missing son. No one is that non chalant about their child being missing.
