Runaway, 13, spent eleven days in subway system

A 13-YEAR-OLD boy with Asperger’s syndrome spent 11 days in the New York subway system after going missing following a school telling off, his mother claimed.

Police found Francisco Hernandez Jr hiding out in a Coney Island station late last month having survived for almost two weeks on a diet of news stand confectionery and snacks.

His parents claim authorities were reluctant to make his case a priority because they are Mexican immigrants. The New York Police Department denied the claims.
