North Port Florida Police Department officers were dispatched on Wednesday October 8 when a child was seen running on a highway at night by himself after the child ran away from home behind his parents back despite their efforts to watch him closely.
An auto that was driving on the same highway nearly hit the child when the police officer then proceeded to get ahold of the child who has special needs into his squad car and take the child home and reunite with his parents' home safe and sound.

Kids like that can be a real effort for parents to raise, and usually with little help, and it was good the Police rescued this boy, before he was injured on the highway.

I suppose the parents of this poor child would have really been upset if the child had been hit or injured. Too many kids are raising themselves in this country today. The parents should be sited for not having an eye on the child.

That is what a lot of people are saying that kids grow up too fast these days.

That child could have so easily have been hit by the car.
