Detroit boy disappears on way to trick-or-treating

DETROIT (WJBK) - A nine-year-old Detroit boy reported missing for more than 18 hours has been found safe inside his elementary school.

Tywon Young's mother, Termina Washington, reported him missing once he didn't return home from trick-or-treating with friends Wednesday afternoon.

FOX 2's Al Allen reports that Tywon instead stayed with his Washington's friend last night on the city's west side. Allen says he was afraid to tell his mother about a suspension he received last week at Durfee Elementary School.

Washington tells Allen she was unaware of the suspension and no one called to let her know where her son was. The two could been seen leaving Durfee shortly after 11 a.m.

Not nice scaring his mother like that -- but then again, maybe mom is not so nice.

Is it safe to let a nine year old boy go off with his friends in Detroit?

^ Well it's not like they'd booby-trap the candy. :laugh:

how could no one call the parent or guardian for something that series? i still think 9 years old is still a bit young to be going around blocks for Halloween. Even if he went with friends, the mother could not walk behind them or make sure another parent was there.
