New York City police are under fire due to an accusation of discrimination in the case of a missing boy with Asperger's Syndrome. Francisco Hernandez Jr., 13, was found Oct. 26 after having been missing eleven days.
Hernandez's mother, Marisela Garcia, is a Mexican immigrant and feels that the NYPD did not make finding him a top priority because of her immigrant status.
Hernandez was found in a New York City subway, where he had been the whole time.

What a line of crap. Move back to Mexico if we are so bad in this Country....
Glad to hear your son is safe, but the Race line is a bit over the top.
not to defend the NYPD, if they did in fact discriminate against her, but they probably just assumed her son was a runaway and would return on his own. the fact that he has a form of autism should have been the main motivation in finding him.
Got something to say?
