A 7-YEAR-OLD Brooklyn foster child who had threatened to run away to his biological mother disappeared Friday night when he took out the trash, police and family said.
Patrick Alford walked through the lobby of his Spring Creek Development home in East New York about 9 p.m. with his foster mother to take a bag of garbage to a trash compactor, cops and family said.
"She goes back inside, and the boy's not with her," a police source said. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. Joe Kemp
