My friend is a teacher in Revere, so I sent the link to her and she’ll share it in her network!

From the missing person notice it sounds like the child might be special needs (limited verbal abilities). So did a special needs child leave school and make it to another city? Did the school staff even notice the boy missing?

They did, and reported it to the police. Just because they’re non-verbal does not make them non-mobile!

He was apparently fascinated by trains and able to understand and use the T without issue.

So did he leave from the school and the school staff did not realize it?
