On the night of April 22, 2018, at Sydney's Oatley railway station, a petite body lay quietly on the side of the track, bypassing him by the airflow through the dark tunnel, and his unconscious ease dimmed those around him. He was lifted up and, unfortunately, the 11-year-old boy had stopped breathing.
Alex Raichman, an 11-year-old boy living in Sydney, is born with autism, unable to speak, but certainly innocent and cute. He often makes his family and friends laugh with small moves. And it all came to an abrupt end on the night of April 22nd, which became the last joke in his life to play with his family …
Alex's parents are two busy people, business overtime is a routine, just last weekend, the two received the company's assignment, go out to work overtime again to make money.
As a result, they sent Alex to a child care center, hoping that child caregivers would help them take care of the child for two days.
At 7:15 last Sunday night, Alex went shopping with his caretaker. As he passed a store, Alex was deeply attracted to a superhero dress and saw that Alex's eyes were reluctant to move away from that dress. The kind nurse decided to buy the dress for him. So they approached the shop, picked up their clothes and went to the counter to pay. But when the caretaker pulled out the bank card, he faintly felt what seemed to be missing around him. He looked around and found a great event! Alex was gone!
Alex has always been a smart, quiet baby, and sometimes has a little joke with the nurse, this time must be hidden somewhere, waiting to see the nurse's joke!
The nurse picked up the clothes and looked all over the store. He didn't find the shadow of Alex. Then he panicked. Alex wouldn't really be lost?!
And the truth. As he thought, no matter how much you look in the street, no matter how many passers-by, there is no news of Alex, Alex really lost this time …
An 11-year-old autistic boy walked alone in the street at night, which worried the caregiver. He didn't even think about it, he called the police decisively.
When the police received the news, they immediately spread out the news of Alex's disappearance through various social networking sites. For a moment, a large number of good people all moved out to search for Alex throughout the city of Sydney! They went through almost every corner of Oatley, looking for almost every place Alex could appear, but they couldn't get a hint of Alex.
In the end, police found Alex, at Oatley's train station in Oatley, where Alex was no longer "hide-and-seek". At 9:30 that night, just over two hours after Alex was lost, his body was found at the Oatley train station, where police confirmed that he had been knocked down by a train.
The news shocked the entire Oatley, and they came to Oatley Station, bought a bunch of flowers and placed them next to the railway station's passageway.
Some netizens also posted on the Internet laments for Alex, and the grief of this matter all the time.
