“I don’t know...hour seems like a long time”

Could be. But having the park people look first doesn’t seem unreasonable to me, after looking around himself. I haven’t followed this case so I don’t know all the details - e.g. if people had seen both him and the boy at the park before the boy ran off.
Park officials is pretty close to police. The child was not retarded he was autistic. Autistic kids are just as healthy physically as most other kids in their age group. They just lack the restraint that normal kids learn from discipline. I knew a couple that adopted a drug baby back in the 90’s. That kid was like lightning and he didn’t care about anything but his impulses. They were my employers so they brought him to work and I watched him grow from a cute tiny baby into a rapidly mobile kid with serious destructive tendencies. If his parents had been nicer to me I would have felt sorry for them.
