The father of the 6-year-old autistic boy whose body was presumed to have been found said he’ll live as a “broken man” and with the “guilt of not being there to save my son” for the rest of his life.
“Now today i found out im not a dad anymore,” Ritch wrote on Facebook Thursday, the day the likely body of his son was found. “From this moment on for the rest of my life i will live with the guilt of not being there to save my son. The most important person in my life.”
“I wanted to be his heroe [sic]. I wanted him to say i was more than superman or batman to him,” Ritch wrote. “I wanted people to ask him who his heroe is and him say my daddy. Now im no heroe i couldnt save him or protect him at all. I would give anything to go back and save him.”

There was all kinds of support for a couple of days. Then reason set in.
thanks.
Unless they come up with something in the investigation, I’d see this as a terrible tragedy for the father.
The one point that I was curious about - how the son got away from him was addressed when it was noted the dad’s diabetic and has foot problems due to it.
I have some problems with neuropathy myself and know it can slow a person down. I knew one woman in her 30s, diabetic, who needed a wheelchair to go any distance due to severe neuropathy.
For somebody with neuropathy, Ian sure likes to walk long distances, but can’t keep up with a six year old child.
As I said, if there’s something fishy I expect it will come out in the investigation.
To name a child “Maddox” is a crime unto itself.
