Avonte Oquendo, fanished from his school, the Learning Center Boulevard School in Long Island City, Queens; Friday, October 4, 2013–at or around 12:30 PM. It was also the last time anyone had seen him alive and in person on surveillance video. He was seen by the school’s security guard leaving the building. She asked him where he was going but he never answered. He doesn’t speak verbally and is autistic. The boy is 14-years old.<\/p>\n

It is now going on\u00a0in its 7th \u00a0week and still there is no sign of him, to the disappointment of all—including his parents, family and the police department—whom have all search tirelessly.\u00a0 Thus far, no one I believe has given up hope.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0limitation of time and the \u00a0cold weather setting in, we are basically out\u00a0of time to find him. I believe someone, somewhere has found him and knows exactly who he is.<\/p>\n

My gripe is with the security guard who first saw him leaving the school—–because they’re the first line of defense or\u00a0gate keepers so to speak. In a case like this, in any school like this particular school with\u00a0children who have disabilities and attend schools like this one, have parents who depends on the security of the school to keep their child safe.<\/p>\n

So, I am asking, \u00a0how much does the security guards know about these children at this Learning Center School?\u00a0\u00a0and if security guards knew of these children’s condition (They should have been brief) -why wasn’t this guard more alert and a where, especially because he didn’t answer her——even more so, question the fact or look to see if the child made it back to class? It was reported that she (the guard) actually reported\u00a0Avonte, missing\u00a0hours later when it was too late.<\/p>\n

Security guards are the eyes and ears of the schools they oversee and something such has this shouldn’t have happen on their watch. Someone in that neighborhood knows what happened to this child.<\/p>\n

If you know anything or saw something contact the NYPD.<\/p>\n
