Six -year -old Autist missed: Mobilized the large search team in Weilburg!

The six -year -old Pawlos from Waldbrunn has been missing since Tuesday afternoon. The boy, whose last sighting took place at Weilburg station, left his school and has been unobtrusive since then. It is described as dark -skinned, has dark hair and was traveling in a striped sweater as well as gray jeans and slippers at the time of his disappearance. Mayor Johannes Hanisch expressed the concern that Pawlos could be in a helpless situation due to his autistic predisposition, since many autistic children are looking for retreat in stressful or unfamiliar situations.

The police started a comprehensive search in which hundreds of emergency services and a helicopter and a boat of the water protection police are involved. It is believed that Pawlos could either hide in the nearby urban area or possibly have driven away by public transport. Mayor Hanisch informed the public that the child should not be addressed directly so as not to frighten him. The emergency services ask the population for information and ask you to choose the emergency call 110 in the event of a sighting or to contact the Limburg criminal police on 06431 91400.

special challenges in search

The search for Pawlos is also difficult due to its autism assessment. Special educator Sarah Weber describes that autistic children react differently to stimuli and are often tense in unknown situations. This can lead to Pawlos feels disoriented in his area. The responsible persons emphasize that no loud calls should be used in the search so as not to scare the child.

to awaken Pawlos', colorful balloons were hung in Weilburg. In addition, the police officers rely on innovative approaches: Police cars play sound recordings from Pawlos' mother and well -known music to attract him. Waters are also a focus of the search, because many autistic children are attracted to water. However, Weber notes that being alone near water can be dangerous for Pawlos.

Similar missing people of autistic children have been documented in the past, which is why the police and the emergency services use special methods. While the search continues, the population remains encouraged to be attentive and to react immediately in the event of a hint, since Pawlos may have stuck or hid in an unexpected situation. However, there is no assumption of a crime behind its disappearance.
