Daryl Gosein, a five-year-old autistic boy from New Jersey, drowned this Thanksgiving afternoon in a canal in Weston, Florida. The boy’s family was in Florida for a wedding; the canal was located a few blocks from a relative’s house in a gated community. Daryl had wanted to use the relatives’ pool and had been told by his mother to stay away. He was last seen playing on a computer. Neighbors found Darryl “barely alive” in the canal, his shirt and shoes on the bank of the canal, as reported by today’s CBS4.com news.
I don’t think I need to say it, but I am feeling beyond sad this Thanksgiving.
