What's going on with the youth today? First the girl in Clark, now this kid. And what is the deal with the Summit Court house party that got trashed by WHS students? These kids are out of control. I heard the school won't cooperate with the police in their investigation. I guess the school doesn't want to lose any athletes on teams for violating the schools substance abuse policy. It sure wouldn't be a loss if some footballers were involved. Haven't win a game yet.

Hope he's ok . I have boys that go to school there .

The word on the street we are told is that this was NOT a Westfield Public School kid-
but St Helens Student from Elizabeth.

Anyone thought about sharing a description of the missing boy???

school is been let out now he can easily blend in,,wish they had a description of the boy

"...in the area of Lamberts Mill Road and Rahway Avenue". Might that be Willow Grove?

Any updates?

all quiet here

The only school in that area is Beadleston High School with an enrollment of 54 students. Information on Beadleston states:
"Lamberts Mill Academy (aka Beadleston), located in Westfield, New Jersey is an educational program designed for students who require a comprehensive psycho-therapeutic approach in an educational setting. The program offers intensive clinical and psychiatric services as well as a wide range of educational programs aligned with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJCCCS). "
" Adolescents who have a primary diagnosis of anxiety, depression, school phobia, and/or behavior/personality disorders that interfere with their ability to function in a regular school environment will benefit from the Academy. Students whose disability manifests in chronic aggressive outbursts or who are a danger to others are not appropriate for this program."

Why can't local police do a thorough search? Helicopters??? Give me a break! This isn't O.J.! you don't see this kind of attention given a child missing in Newark do you!

My son went missing 2 years ago. He was 22 years old. He had a girlfriend who filed a false police report regarding an alleged sexual assault while she walked home alone that really devasted him. We were also dealing with his use of prescription drugs (which he was introduced to by friends on a college baseball team by the way) at the time. The Westfield Police were atrocious to our family after we immediately filed a missing persons report and they did not take the matter seriously and tragically my son died. No one can change that...ever! But I am happy that they are finally taking missing persons more seriously. For those of you who think helicopters and such are too much ...you have never had a missing child. One just never knows and it's better to be safe than sorry. Too late for my son. If you think this can't happen to you...think again.

You might want to check more reliable sources than your social circle's rumor mill before asserting what are clearly opinions based on false innuendo...you obviously have no idea what occurred on Summit Ct......and LM is correct that the school's athletic code which all athletes and parents must sign to participate applies "...on or off school property" and includes "conduct contrary to law &/or school rules and regulations..." I would think trespassing, underage drinking, theft and vandalism all fall under that umbrella, wouldn't you?
