The Riverview School as seen via satellite from Google Earth. |
The name of the school sends shivers down the spine of any
parent to an autistic child. The Riverview School, a school for children with
special needs, screams danger right there in the title yet the security
provided the children of that school was nowhere close to being proportionate
to the level of danger provided by its surroundings. A satellite view from Google
Earth of The Riverview School. It indicates that those warning bells are
justified.
On October 4th 2013, 14 year-old Avonte
Oquendo slipped away from his class while on the way to a technology room.
He allegedly ran past a security guard, out a side door and was never seen
again.
