Why the Kyrin Carter Tragedy Hits Close to Home for Many Parents
After a 10 day search by land, air and water the body of Kyrin Carter, a 12-year-old Kansas City, Missouri boy with autism, was found Monday in the Little Calumet River in Hammond, Indiana. He and his family had been staying at the Best Western Hotel adjacent to the river when Kyrin went missing. Hotel and other surveillance video showed him leaving the hotel through a back door and walking barefoot along a path next to the river. In a heartwrenching interview with NBC 5 Chicago before her son’s body was recovered, Kyrin’s mother described him as “high-functioning” and said that he loved the water.
