@globeandmail: Calgary Police say Parker, the 11-year-old boy who had been missing for 13 days – and whose disappearance sparked a massive search by officers and community members – has been found dead. Calgary Police Chief Katie McLellan said Parker was discovered on Wednesday afternoon deep in a network of pipes near one of the city’s major expressways after a citizen discovered his shoes at the mouth of a culvert near an industrial park in the city’s northeast. Parker was neurodivergent and non-verbal. Since he disappeared, police had maintained foul play was unlikely and, on Wednesday, they said that they still believe he wandered off on his own volition. Hundreds of police officers and thousands of Calgary residents had been searching for clues ever since he vanished. Investigators struggled to track down CCTV evidence of his most recent whereabouts and Calgary Police committed more than 400 officers to the search. #Calgary #Parker #Canada
Good on the person that found the shoes and investigated further.

My condolences. Im sorry especially to the parents that received any backlash from this, autism is one diagnoses that carries alot of blame on parents.

Too bad he didn’t have a wearable GPS device so they could’ve found him before it was too late. 😔 My daughter is autistic and her psychologist recommended her to have one, as well as alarms on doors and windows. Poor little guy.

It’s a horrible tragedy BUT how lucky that he left shoes. Otherwise, they might never have found him. The parents will suffer and grieve, but not like they would have if they were never knew what happened to him.

I really wish that they would consult with autistic adults because I used to go into pipes like this when I was a kid. all they had to do was ask autistic adults what we would have done as a child and that could have helped their search. why don't people consult with us autistic adults and ask us how to look for him???
