NEW YORK (AP) _ A 13-year-old boy from Stamford, Conn., was missing Saturday afternoon after he disappeared from a men's room Friday night on his first trip to Yankee Stadium, police said. Hundreds of police and security guards failed to find Majelique Lewis after he disappeared during a trip to the bathroom during the seventh-inning stretch of a Yankees-Angels game, police said.

Nothing here. Just some person of an "alternative lifesytle" practicing his "alternative lifestyle". Don't bee a bigot.
Oh, I know the answer...more legislation is needed. We don't need parents to take personal responsibility. < /sarcasm>
I cannot even begin to imagine how this mother feels.
As a mother of a son...I have noticed in the public restrooms all over the country women stand in line, with their growing sons. This is a legacy of the hedonism and lawlessness in this country
A 13 year old boy should be able to go to the bathroom alone. Do you have a 13 yr. old? Do you walk on your kids heels everywhere he goes in fear someone will kidnap him? Give it a rest! It's the bad guys fault not the Mom's! Your sarcasm is idiotic!
Quite true, but their sons are much safer - and that is the point. Keep track of your kids, and most of the time they will live to grow up (they will also know that you really love them, which ain't bad either).
And people are STILL opposed to cameras in every nook and cranny?
Maybe he ran away out of humiliation for the name that his mother made up for him........
I had 13 year-old girls, and yes, I knew where they were all the time. Going to a ballpark with thousands of strangers? You'd better believe I accompanied them to the bathroom. BTW, they've grown up into fine young women.
Give it a rest! It's the bad guys fault not the Mom's! Your sarcasm is idiotic!
What is idiotic is allowing a child to go to the restroom at Yankee Stadium without supervision. Why don't YOU give it a rest? There are bad guys everywhere, and always will be. Parents need to be proactive to keep their children safe.
So now are we going to hear from all those self-righteous critics who say that Natalee Holloway should never gone to Aruba tell us that we shouldn't take our children to baseball games?
Stand up . . . then flush.
I had the weird idea that perhaps his mother was a fan of majolica-ware, and just couldn't figure out how to look up the correct spelling.
(I know, I know . . . but I can dream!)
You are not alone.
I hope this got a lot more media coverage in New York than nationally...
I can't imagine anything happening to him without a witness in Yankee Stadium...but if no one knows what happened, it would be hard to get witnesses..
My prayers are with this child and the family.
Maybe she was an admirer of the vastly-talented Majel Barrett.
but their sons are much safer - and that is the point. Keep track of your kids, and most of the time they will live to grow up (they will also know that you really love them, which ain't bad either).
They are absolutely safer...I cannot imagine what sort of future we are gearing towards when young teenaged boys have to go to the women's room with their mothers...I notice not one woman had a problem with it...
This would be an occasion when security cameras would be useful.
