amber alert
its been too long – foul play seems probable!
THEY MUST PUT OUT AN AMBER ALERT!! WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?!
the sooner they do – the higher the chance it will help. Every minute that goes by is a precious wasted minute! so annoyed an frustrated!
Wondering
Could someone have picked him up (or “offered him a ride”) at the BP-CH and city bus stop at 13th and 50th? That’s the corner where he was last seen.
We should on hear good news NOW!
Check Pools, schools, Bus… I cant believe this.. I think parents, schools and fire department should be teaching children what to do in these situations when you get lost.. Ask for help, or scream if someone is trying to take you or come close to you These children NEED to learn safety and what and how to handle it…….. We should on hear good news NOW!
To all schools
Please teach our precious kinderlach never to talk to strangers and to yell if a stranger starts doing anything suspicious !
It wasnt him on the camera
To #3
Turns out the kid they saw in the camera was not the kid theyre looking for
May we hear good news
Chani
May I suggest everyone should make hachlotos toivos, something small (or big!) in tznius, tefillah, ahavas yisroel, etc. Especially those of us out of town …
to # 2
amber alert is only after 24 hrs
a Bubby
This is why I worry when my grandchildren, little boys, walk to OT every day for Yeshiva & they live past empire because there are not any buses. How many blocks is the camp from the child’s home? So frightening. All children must learn road safety AND STRANGER SAFETY. And they must never go off with anyone, not even a yid without checking with a parent.
he is so young!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what could have happend to him???????????????????????
InspireMe
THERE IS A MISSING CHILD IN OUR MIDST! IT MAY NOT BE FROM CH BUT IT SURE IS CLOSE TO HOME, AND WHO KNOWS, HE COULD BE IN C.H.!! PLEASE GIVE THIS TERRIBLE ‘STORY’ THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES AND PLACE IT ON THE TOP OF YOUR NEWS REPORTS INDEFINITELY UNTIL THE BOY IS FOUND – HOPEFULLY SOON! A HUGE PICTURE SHOULD BE POSTED WITH REWARD AND EMERGENCY REPORTING INFORMATION. PLEASE – LET’S SHOW WE ARE PRIORITIZING OUR CARES, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BEYOND WORDS!!

child too young to walk from camp/school through boro park. blatant child neglect/abuse by care-givers.
This is a missing person alert
Amber alerts are put out when they are sure that a child was abducted. Notice how an amber alert goes out with a description of a car or the abductor. Here they don’t have a vehicle description nor an abductor’s description – hence no amber alert.
Are the parents married to each other?
What’s the situation with the parents? And the family? There have been stories in the past where a divorced parent is involved.
CHT
Also,
What appear from this footage (http://www.theyeshivaworld….)
1. The boy is lost
2. He is shy to ask goyim
3. He sees Jewish person but also shy to ask him
4. He realizes that better ask a Yid and run after him
There are two Yiden that he could be running after – one in shirt and a cap and the other fully Yidishe dressed with jacket and white shirt but I did not see hat. BTW, this is how Avner Meir dresses too – the one I mentioned that there is potential that he is living in that area.
dont get it
have Crown heights residents offered help? people from everywhere(as far as Baltimore, monsey, and ‘the country’ etc) have gone to BP to help for the search.
Secondly – I dont know why they are still looking in BP – its looking more and more like he may not be there anymore…but where to start looking in such a huge city and with so much time!??! oy – its so so terrible! Hashem help him!
Naomi
The Hayom Yom for Tes Tammuz (Monday) is: “All Jewish parents who need a special yeshuah and hatzalah for their children, the most certain means for this is to support those who learn Torah.”
May Hashem bring Yehuda Leib ben Ita Esther back to his parents, healthy and safe, immediately!
Rivkah Bush
All of the young ones need to relearn safey. When Jewish children are only amoung other Jewish children…they are safe. It is so important to teach our little ones their safest place is in the center of the Jews in CH. After Hasham brings this child to his mother…the community might want to look at a buddy system. My heart hurts and I a only in Michigan….I can only imagine the pain across this whole community. His mother we are davening for hourly all nite tonight..May Hashem send him back to his mother healthy to be held on to tightly by is Mother.
sara
number 12, being critical of others is definitely not helpful. the anguish the parents must be going through doesnt bare thinking about and ur comment doesnt help. In Boro Park it is the norm for young children to walk to and from school alone, this may need to change due to changing times but to name call is out of order.
may he be found quickly and safely

Unfortunately, CH has not been represented in their coverage of this story, or in their assistance with finding this boy.
I witnessed myself, the cops arresting two jews in Kensington, where they are right now. They tracked down the car that took the boy, and it led them to two jewish people in Kensington.
As of now they have not found the boy, but it seems they are close.
CBS is confirming these reports, and of course I was there on site to see for myself.
Lets continue to pray, and hope that our fellow brother comes home in peace and returns to his family.

your comment about there being a specific person being involved with no knowledge or reason to claim he is involved is 100% loshon hora.I pray the kid is returned safe and sound to his family.
