An 8-year-old autistic child found walking along River Road was returned home after citizens spotted the child on Sunday, April 13.
Lt. Trevor Wenning of the Keizer Police Department said the child “escaped through a backyard gate as his father was mowing” and got about a mile from home.
He said that “several Good Samaritans stopped and helped assist police in dealing with the non-verbal child. The parents called police when they noticed he was gone and retrieved their son shortly thereafter.”
