7-Year-Old Face on the Milk Carton

A 7-year-old boy threatened to run away from his East Brooklyn foster family, and on Friday night he went through with it. Patrick Alford had been taken from his parents just days before, and badly wanted to go home. At around 9 pm he accompanied his new foster mom outdoors to the trash compactor, and slipped away while her gaze was averted. "She goes back inside, and the boy's not with her," a police source told the NY Daily News. "She goes back out, but he disappeared." His 4-year-old sister J.J. was in the care of the same family and told the NY Post she wishes "he would come back." He was last seen in a red T-shirt, jeans and black sneakers.
