A sprawling North Carolina park remained closed to the public Wednesday while scores of searchers continued the hunt for Maddox Ritch, an autistic and nonverbal 6-year-old who disappeared four days ago.
Maddox was walking along a paved trail in Rankin Lake Park in Gastonia with his father Saturday when "he decided to take off from me," Ian Ritch said Wednesday.
"I didn’t think nothing of it, and he got a little too far away from me," Ritch told "Good Morning America." "As soon as I got to the point where I couldn’t see him anymore, I started panicking. I couldn’t see him anywhere."
More than 20 law enforcement agencies led by Gastonia Police and the FBI have been poring over every square foot of the 242-acre park. The FBI has promised a $10,000 reward for information that leads to finding Maddox, and authorities have been following up on more than 150 tips.
Maddox has blond hair, blue eyes, weighs 45 pounds, is about 4 feet tall and was wearing an orange T-shirt with lettering “I am the Man,” black shorts and sandals.
Officers and agents sifted through trash containers, and search patrols continued overnight on foot and ATVs through the park and the surrounding area. Drones swept the area. An 80-acre lake is being slowly drained for clues, and Gastonia SWAT members in kayaks searched the lake and nearby waterways for clues.
Police were looking for a photographer and a jogger seen in the area that perhaps saw something. And authorities even pumped the voice of his parents into the park, hoping to draw Maddox out.
Ritch said he is racked with guilt, finding it hard to sleep at night in a comfortable bed knowing his son might be lost in the woods.
"I'm going to do all I can do to make sure he gets back home," he said. "I'll be out there searching, waiting, hoping, praying, everything I can do to get him home."

The news said the duh was near the edge of the woods with an unidentified adult as the kid blasted off into the trees after duh just looked away for the breeder version of a second, which is probably an hour. If he saw the kid tear off into the woods why did he not chase him? I guess a "blast off into the woods" PNA

Tardly took off after the jogger, and Duddhie - who claims to have neuropathy in his feet - couldn't run after the kidlet quickly enough to catch him.
That's a good excuse ^^^ !!!
On a personal side note, a Moo I know with an autard son who's been abusing the system for 18 years (thanks to autard), is whining on social media shes getting cut off from the free money. Apparently autard is high functioning enough to understand after 18 years he's just a walking meal ticket, got fed up, learned his rights, got a job cleaning tabes at the Mickey D's down the road, and is willing to wear the clown suit for x hours a week in order to have a chance to move away from Moo.
It hasn't happened yet, but Moo is already freaking at the though it COULD happen..
I find it highly ironic that the person who IS officially mentally impaired, WANTS to work, and have his own life, and do better for others.
Meanwhile his moo, who ISN'T officially impaired, wants to use his existence, even if he works every week and lives elsewhere, to continue receiving free money, so she doesn't have to get a job her own self.

FBI agent Jason Kaplan said at a press conference that Maddox’s body was “camouflaged.” He explained, “It was extremely difficult to see him even when we were standing right next to him. He was in the creek, in water. Partially underwater.”

And if they're concerned about the suffering socially for relinquishment of rights it is nothing compared to suffering socially for ending a life (and hopefully the internal suffering for the murder).
