I would hope the police go to the Wheels to Lease place and ask some questions, like – what did the boy ask, what info was he given, where did he head to when he left.

I received this in an email:

“9 year old boy never came home from day camp today in Boro Park. Brooklyn residents are asked to take a few minutes to go outside, check their yards, driveways and blocks for the missing boy. If possible, Shomrim requests that people be sent to search the SHULS as well, PARTICULARLY THE BATHROOMS. Boy answers to the name Leibby and was wearing a grey and light blue striped shirt, navy pants, black sneakers and black glasses when he was last seen. He has light brown hair.

Also, please take a minute to:
a) say Tehillim for Yehuda ben Esther and
b) forward this to your contacts.”

I posted this because of the advice it gives to check shuls and particularly bathrooms. There are also other places this child may have stayed for the night. All options should be looked into.

A point worth pointing out: If a kid asks you for directions, walk him home!

Please try to see if we can improve in some area of tznius or emunah. It should be a zechus to bring a speedy yeshuah.

Anybody who has video surveillance around their house or business – even if you don’t live in BP – should look at it.
May the Aibeshter return this boy safely to his parents soon.

What a terrible story, we all need to remind our children never to trust anyone they don’t personally know, even if – especially if – they are dressed like Orthodox jews. It’s not like people who are out to do harm will wear a keffiya before trying to entice kids to follow them, and their faces aren’t necessarily “looking wrong”; viceversa, can you imagine a real jew asking for help or whatever, and picking of all people a 8-yr-old? In a jewish neighbourhood he could not find an adult? A kid must always beware in such situations. But one can see already from the photo that was circulated, that this is a very holy boy and a very gentle and respectful one, it breaks my heart to even think about it. Please in his name, let’s tell our kids to be careful.

Why was he heading in that direction? For the definitive answer, we’ll have to ask him that when he is found, bezras hashem really soon.

Remember, he is 9. He probably lived his entire life in a 5 block radius with one street looking just like the next one. His daily routine is to get on a bus and go home. On this day, the routine changed. Perhaps he got on a bus and got right back off a few block away from the day camp and his bearings were thrown off. Perhaps he walked east instead of west. Perhaps he asked someone for directions and they gave him the wrong directions. Perhaps he asked for 13th street instead of 13th ave. Lots of maybes. Foolish to speculate. Best to concentrate on finding him. I’m headed home from work and after quick bite and change of clothes am planning on heading out to the command center to volunteer in the search. I freely admit though, its a heck of a lot easier to armchair quarterback.

in this picture, he’s walking so close to the edge of the block. i hope nobody from inside a car kidnapped him. a warning to all children (and adults for that matter) – don’t walk so close to parked or stopped cars. you never know if someone is inside waiting to attack.
