UPDATE: Channel 4 reports he was found and is OK.
Boston Police report they are looking for Jeffrey Cooper, a 14-year-old autistic boy who apparently wandered away from his after-school program in Central Square in East Boston yesterday.
Police said Cooper has trouble communicating his needs. Police said he likes riding trains - he's been found riding the Red Line in Braintree and Quincy - but that he might be in the South End or near the Boston Garden.
He was last seen wearing glasses, a navy-blue sweatshirt with a Warren/Prescott patch, a black winter coat, black sneakers and a green and white Celtics hat.
If you see him, contact detectives at 617-343-4234.

Nobody really cares about this kid because he is black. Now if it were a white kid that went missing they (the authorities and media) would be all over it combing the streets looking for him.
