Poor kid. RIP.
Bless his little heart. :(

Anyone with information on the boy’s identity or the pickup truck is asked to call Maine State Police in Gray at 657-3030.
Poor little guy. God bless him.
How could anyone throw away a child like they were garbage? He looks a lot like my little brother did when he was little. G-d bless his little soul I am so sad to read this.

Maine Police Flooded With Tips In Mystery Boy’s Death
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine (CBS) – Maine State police said they’ve received about 60 tips following the release of a computer-generated photo of a boy whose body was found over the weekend.
A police spokesman told reporters at a news conference Monday that tips are coming in from Maine, New Hampshire and as far away as Ohio.
The body was found Saturday evening at the end of a dirt driveway in South Berwick, which is near the New Hampshire border.
Investigators said they believe the body was left there around 7:30 a.m. Saturday and had been there all day until it was found around 5:30 p.m. Police think the boy may have died a few hours before the body was disposed.
Maine State Police released a computer generated photo of the boy Sunday, hoping someone will recognize him.
The photo has been distrubuted to schools, day cares, pediatricians’ offices and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
Officers are also checking surveillance video at several local businesses hoping to generate more leads.
Police said no one has filed a missing person report for a boy fitting his description.
He is 3 foot, 8 inches tall, weighs 45 pounds and is believed to have been between 4 and 6 years old.
He had dark or dirty blond hair and blue eyes.
He was wearing a Faded Glory gray camouflage hooded sweatshirt, a blue t-shirt, tan pants, and Lightning McQueen sneakers.
An autopsy was completed over the weekend, but police have not revealed the cause of death.
Investigators are also looking for a pickup truck – a dark, blue, newer model Toyota Tacoma with an extended cab and white license plates.
I have a little 5 five old blue eyed blonde boy at home and this hits me in the heart. May hell be merciless to these perps.
Prayers for this poor child. Hopefully they can find out where he belonged. Sort of reminds me of “The Boy In The Box” story.
I want to cry.
this is awful.. who found him? this brings tears to my eyes...
Poor little guy...Prayers up for consolation for those that loved him, and justice for those that didn’t.
Sounds like a lot of clues are coming in. It helps with the computerized image.
He does deserve justice from those left behind.
Prayers that those who loved him will be consoled. Those that destroyed him will get justice here on Earth and from Heaven.
Anyone have the new england ping list so the word can get out of this little innocent one.
agree!!!! Hell is even too good for them.
Our nation has thrown away millions of children.....many of them blue eyed, blond hair... into the garbage since 1973
