Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) continue their search near Peterborough, Ont., for a missing and vulnerable autistic teenager as concerns mount about how long it took to get this extensive probe underway.
Logan, 18, left his Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, Ont., home through a window the night of Sunday, Oct. 13. He hasn’t been seen or heard from since, and his mom, Jenny Tozer, tells CityNews the police search for her autistic son has lacked urgency, while she has been consumed with fear.
“He’s high-functioning autistic. He’s also got ADHD, social anxiety disorder, and intellectual disorder,” Tozer said.
When asked if this was relayed to investigators, Tozer said she informed police officers of her son’s condition, and it appears to have landed on deaf ears. She believes it’s partly due to his age as an 18-year-old.
“But mentally, he’s 12 to 14.”
Tozer notes that this isn’t the first time her son has gone missing, even if it was for “a short amount of time.” Logan’s mother says she and her husband reported him missing the evening of Monday, Oct. 14, and police came to search their large property the next day.
“They [used] drones, and they [had] people walking the property, [that] kind of thing, but they didn’t find anything,” she said.
