Missing 11-Year-Old Brooklyn Boy Found on Subway

NY1NEWS
A missing Brooklyn boy has been found, almost a week after he disappeared after returning from school.

Police say 11-year-old Kareem Granton was last seen on Wednesday.

Relatives say after school, he went to play video games with a friend who lives two floors above him at the Unity Plaza Houses in East New York.

His friend says Kareem left the apartment several hours later, but he never arrived home.

Maybe it won't be a horror story.

Somehow, I always hope for the best.

I can't access the video as I am not a TW customer. Does he have some sort of learning/social disability that prevented him from communicating? Did he just hang out at some friend's house, and no parent said "Hey, you--go home, your parents will be worried?"

So many questions--didn't anyone watch the news and see his family freaking out?

We don't know where he has been but I imGine he is being examined to make sure if was abused. No mention of learning disabilities.

Wonder if he was being bullied?

Glad this had a happy ending. That family must have been frantic.
