Teen Spends 11 Days Riding Subway, World Doesn't Care


Sad. There's just no other word to describe this story.

A 13-year old Brooklyn lad with Asperger's syndrome got frightened as a result of a potential school scolding from his mom and, with $10 in his pocket, rode the subway for 11 days before a transit cop recognized his face from a poster and stepped in to help.


No one spoke to him. Asked if he saw any larger meaning in that, he said, "Nobody really cares about the world and about people."

Hug your kids today. Or someone else's kids. No child should feel this way.
