Saw this on Zunfrii's post on B2 -- astonishing that...

Posted by OAE (aka KiwiPrincess) Nov 24 '09, 10:27

...someone didn't spot him. Not b/c he was missing, but b/c he rode the same trains for days. Was he too familiar? To common? Not unusual enough? Didn't look lost enough? What?

On the other hand, how brave would you need to be to reach out to an 11YO? on the subway?

He probably looked like every other school kid on the train, no reason to believe he needed help. - Krusty Nov 24, 10:31
but given how big NYC's subway system is, and how many people go through it on a daily basis, I can't say I'm that surprised someone could last that - znufrii Nov 24, 10:29 3
- in any case, it's far from the most disturbing thing to happen on the subway this week... -- nm - znufrii Nov 24, 10:29 2
  - Word. I'm so glad I'm no longer confrontational on the train. - Krusty Nov 24, 10:32 1
    - I wouldn't have wanted to be one of the passengers locked inside the train car with him waiting for the police to show up, for sure. -- nm - znufrii Nov 24, 10:33
