Following are details of the story as they unfolded:

7:34 PM: 12 Year-old Binyamin Simantov-Linkov of Monticello/Crown Heights has been missing for 24 hours. The boy is 5′ 2″, and was last seen on Shabbos afternoon at 1:00PM in the Monticello Shul on Landfield Avenue. He was wearing a white dress shirt, black pants, black shoes and a black yarmulka.

    It’s just been reported the he was found. No further detail are currently available.

  • Get him help

    Looks like a classic example of a kid that needs a lot of outside help. Are the parents in denial?

  • he is in good condition

    unlikely in good condition. missing for 36 hours, found hiding for so long? what has happened in between? why was he hiding? who was he hiding from.
    should the new rov get involved and call child protection in for some closer look?

  • they hide...

    kids that are upset for whatever reason, and go missing, very often do not go far. often they are in the house somewhere – i.e. basement, behind a tree in the backyard, hiding in a small space you would never think to look – but it is there you should look.

    suddenly, quiet. why did he run away. was the kid drunk from simchas torah ? he probably drank to much and mother argued with him. kid could not handle mother yelling ?

    could be family issues
