To set the story straight, the child was not alone to start, but walking with her older sister, twin brother and several children that live in the
same neighborhood. After an argument the child ran ahead of the rest of the children.
Also in the Orange Park/Jacksonville area due to budget constraints, if a child lives less than 2 miles (have heard from several it is now 3
miles)from the enrolled public school he/she must have other transportation to/from school. Several hundred bus stops were affected by this
situation.
I agree, in this time and age i would not let my child walk to/from school, but would have transportation arranged if i could not do it myself. I
get Amber Alerts sent to my email, I see someone else has posted the link. Especially since we have had several children in the North Florida area
abducted/missing just this year.
UPDATE: a small child's remains have been found in a landfill near the Florida/Georgia border, awaiting identification and test before stating if
this is the 7yo from Orange Park.
