Police comb Yankee stadium for missing boy

NEW YORK --A 13-year-old boy went to a restroom during a Yankees game and never returned, and searches of the stadium, nearby fast-food restaurants and train stations by hundreds of police and security guards were fruitless.

Majelique Lewis, of Stamford, Conn., disappeared Friday night during the seventh-inning stretch of a Yankees-Angels game, police said.

His mother immediately reported him missing to security, who notified police about an hour later.

Every stadium exit is monitored by security cameras and Lewis' mother did not spot him on hours of recorded images, police said.

So much for the security cameras at Yankee Stadium.

I still wonder what happened to him though.

Good news in any case. :)

4. Jeez! Did you see this?

"Between 10 and 15 children are reported missing at every Yankees game and are almost immediately located, police said."

6. Well, the Angels HAD just gone up 5-3, w/ 4 runs in the top of the 7th

Perhaps the lad just couldn't stand to watch the Yankees get beaten again. Too bad he didn't stick around. :(

I'm just glad he's safe.

7. I don't live in NY

But this really concerned me when I saw it on the news. If a kid can walk out of Yankee Stadium without being seen on the video surveillance cameras and the cops are unable to locate him in the vicinity, is there an implication here?
