    I pray that this little boy is found safe and sound. My heart goes out to his family. And I agree with the prior comment. This should have been the top story today!

    I hope the youth is found soon and safe. Who allows an 8 year old to walk any distance at 8 o'clock at night?

    Today's front page of the Philadelphia Daily News features the white girl who wore a Romney t-shirt to school. Yet, there is no mention of the 8 year old missing black child. Thank God he was just found. i guess that wasn't news.

    So happy he was found. After reading about Autumn Pasquale this morning, I was worried. This is a nerve-wrecking time to be a parent.
