Missing Boy Spent 11 days on the NYC Subways


A few hours ago 13 year old Francisco Hernandez who has been gone for 11 days was found in the NYC Subway System by a local officer. He was recognized from one of the many 'MISSING' posters that were put up a few days ago. He had Asperger's Syndrome which is an illness that affects the way you socialize and communicate. He disappeared after having thought he was in trouble at school that day.

After his parents found out that he was gone, they took matters into their own hands and posted fliers and MISSING signs all over their neighborhood. Eventually a local officer found him. His mother worried that he wore the same clothes for 11 days and that he only had $11 to buy food and drink water with. He ended up eating lollypops and potato chips and drinking water from any subway stores. He slept in subway cars, went to the bathroom in subway stations and spent most of his time underground.
