Boy Found Safe After Missing From Taft Elementary
A 5-year-old Taft Elementary pupil who left school property on Thursday was found safe at a friend’s home after a police search that included neighborhood sweeps and bus checks. Investigations continue into how the child boarded a bus and reached La Main Apartments, with a mother reporting the incident around 4:30 p.m. Police say a bus driver remembered dropping him off and that the boy walked home normally before departing again. Separate incidents include a stabbing near Roosevelt Boulevard and a postponed charity basketball game as Monroe staff and local officials reassess campus safety steps.
