A photo of a boy riding a NY subway train who was thought to be missing 14-year-old Avonte Oquendo has been identified. NYPD officers located the boy in the photo and determined he was not the missing autistic child who vanished after he walked out of his Queens, NY high school on Oct. 4.
“It was not Avonte. This person whose photo it was was in the precinct with his parents,” a police spokeswoman told the Daily News.
The photo, taken by an unidentified teenager on Tuesday, lifted hopes that Avonte was alive, but Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said he was “not hopeful” Avonte was still alive. Kelly later apologized to Avonte’s enraged family.
According to the NY Daily News, the family was “hesitant” to identify that the photo was, or wasn’t, Avonte, who has a fascination with trains.
A reward for information on Avonte’s whereabouts has increased to $85,000, CBS reports.
Meanwhile, another autistic boy has been reported missing.
The NY daily News reports, Robert Richard, 14, went missing from Yonkers and may have wandered somewhere in the Bronx, authorities said Wednesday night. Anyone with information on either boy is asked to call 911.

Well I guess the NYPD has already rushed to judgement…
Shid favor to me, but we all got a twin
but mofos still looking for Natalie Holloway
Interesting point. We’ve got to start looking out for each other. Only time they’re looking, is to make sure we’re not stealing.
“Hi Avonte, it’s mom. Come to the flashing lights, Avonte,” the boy’s mother, Vanessa Fontaine, says in the recording. “It’s mom, Avonte. Hi Avonte, come to the flashing lights. It’s mom.”

@ San
Welcome to the Darkside….You ma’am, Ain’t Shyt.
Forgive me

With all these predators out here
this is making me cry for real. i’m out
I was watching some program where they were saying with missing children the first 24 hrs are crucial. If more than 72 hrs passes the probablity of finding the child alive is cut in half…So even though the nypd commissioner was tacky af for saying it, it’s not like he’s lying…I pray they find him. Safe and sound.

Who else?!!!!! congrats to them too!!!
You sure did Luvn!!! Thank you!!!!
I see cases like this a lot. The first 24 hrs are so critical to finding anyone let alone a child. Trust if someone had him they would gladly drop him off because he cannot talk therefore he can’t tell on them….also who can’t use 85,000? If someone knew anything they would have already told something. I hate to not be hopeful but it doesn’t look good.
