Shock in Nuremberg: Missed child discovered dead in the Main-Donau Canal

It was a tragic Sunday afternoon in Nuremberg, which for many in the city ended very differently than she could have imagined. At 12:30 p.m., concerned of the police reported that an autistic boy had disappeared in primary school age after he had secretly left the house. Again and again we experience in our neighborhood that for various reasons, children lose overview and put themselves in danger. According to the current status of the investigation, the boy went on its own on its own to the Main-Donau Canal, where the tragedy started. About an hour and a half after the message, the child was discovered lifeless in the water, reports Br.de .

The police quickly mobilized about two dozen forces to look for the child. Based on indications that came from the family, the emergency services were specifically able to search for the young search. Unfortunately, the lifeless child was found in the canal around 2:00 p.m. and brought to the land side, where attempts to resuscitate were unsuccessful both by the police and the emergency services. The investigation of the criminal service for the exact circumstances has already started, but the police assume a tragic accident. Son of regret: The child has probably drowned without credible indications of a guilt on the part of the parents or supervisors. Thus, the information from Infranken.de .

The silent rippling and the search for more information

The boy's identity remains unknown for the reasons of personal protection. This is not only respectful, but also necessary to protect the families concerned. A possible autopsy of the body is currently still unclear. Such cases of disappearance and the subsequent tragedy are rare, but when they happen, they shock the community deeply.

If you live in the area, you will wonder how it could happen. Children with autistic predispositions, such as the boy found, are sometimes more difficult to control in their surroundings. They often do not understand the sometimes dangerous situations and react in their own way, which can end in such tragic outputs. These considerations are relevant, since another autistic boy named Pawlos is currently missing in Hesse, without a similar misfortune. This shows the enormous commitment of the police and volunteers who connected up to 300 people to find the boy. This is a cohesive sign of the community to bring children home safely in need, such as WDR reported.

It remains to be hoped that such tragic incidents will not be repeated too often and that degrees such as these can be avoided in the future. There is a lot to move here before it's too late. Our thoughts are with the family and everyone involved.
