Autistic child safe after wandering off from after school program
The Autism News | English
WEST COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) – Sixty-five kids were on the playground at White Knoll Elementary late last week, but it only took one of them to make the afternoon extra scary for a Midlands mother.
Chanski Ludley was frantic after getting a call at work about her son, LJ. She learned had wondered away. The 7-year-old has autism.
The CEO of the Boys and Girls Club says the counselor who was supposed to be watching LJ, was distracted by another student when the boy wondered off.
“This child, LJ, was able to sneak away from the program through a gap in the fence,” said Boys and Girls Club spokesperson Carter Clark.
“Just the thought of him running around somewhere, I just lost it,” said Ludley.
