Twelve-Year-Old Autistic Boy Missing in Anaheim


A 12-year-old high functioning autistic boy has not been seen since leaving school in Anaheim today, and police asked for the public's help in locating him.

Andre Hsu left Savanna High School at 3:30 p.m. and has been missing ever since, said Sgt. Rick Martinez of the Anaheim Police Department.

"He may have gotten on the wrong bus or walked away," Martinez said.

Andre is 5 feet 3 inches tall, with black hair and brown eyes.

"He will not initiate a conversation and has difficulty speaking," Martinez said.

When last seen, Andre was wearing a light blue T-shirt, possibly in combination with a red checkered long sleeve shirt over it, tan shorts, and is in possession of a brown Batman backpack.

Anyone knowing of Andre's whereabouts should call police. 714 765 1900

A station has been set up at Savanna High School at 301 N. Gilbert, just north of Lincoln in Anaheim. If you can help, please do.

Thanks for posting this, Rita. I called the police station. They thought they might already have enough volunteers, though frankly, I am going to stay on this story. As you can imagine, it's very close to home in so many ways.
