I really, truly hope some heads roll over this story. Akila Nihoa, a 12-year old boy with fetal alcohol syndrome and under state guardianship, went missing last Halloween when he went trick-or-treating and never returned to his foster home. Because of some stupid State rules regarding confidentiality, he wasn't officially declared missing by the police until March 8, and apparently until the story hit the Advertiser this morning, the public still didn't know he was missing.
Just because he's a ward of the State doesn't mean the State had no obligation to start publicizing his disappearance as soon as the foster home notified the police and Family Court. To think that this child's life could be in danger should have been the State's foremost consideration. Yes, he has problems, but he is still a child and not something that should be tossed aside like 'opala.
