Especially with leg braces on, which I assume are quite visible...People would be stopping him to ask where his mother was, etc.

The investigation has completely turned away from the shoe store. One thing to note when watching people crying in these circumstances. You can't tell why they are crying. Most of the time they are crying for their own sorry behind and the situation they got themselves into.
That poor little kid didn't stand a chance being raised by any of these people, sorry to say. He looks so bright and innocent.
Just my opinion.

ot: Daisja Weaver: Her mom had the breathlessness and the fake story all ready to go for the cameras.
It is good that we can all 'see' or get that the person on camera is 'faking' it.
It's like Susan Smith. Her whole demeanor was off as well.

Depending on the type of braces. My Son (who also has CP) had AFO's (ankle-foot orthotics). All it is really is two pieces of plastic (fitted), hinged, with velcro straps. These days kids can choose what design they would like on them. My Son's is camouflaged. They wouldn't be noticeable under shoes and pants.

ITA with you. All these kids are just so adorable. There are many good people out there that would have loved to give them a home.
He was wearing a grey sweat suit - perhaps they put the pant legs down over the braces? Still, if he has mobility problems, the way he was walking would be noticeable.
Hell, any five year old walking completely alone would be pretty noticeable.

That's not necessarily true. Most of the people that I know (myself included) who wore braces would put them under their clothes. It might make him look a little heavier, but if you didn't know him it might be hard to notice.
That being said, I agree that MOST people who saw a 5 yr old walking around would go to help him.
IMO since LE is searching the park close to home, they have reason to believe he was never in the car to begin with.
It is entirely possible the aunt truly believes he's been abducted.
But am I wrong in thinking there is absolutely no proof he ever was in the car that day? I still look to the foster dad, sorry to say - no blood ties to the kid, and expecting a baby "of his own"...
If the aunt is innocent and her husband is not... Oh man, I feel so bad for that woman.

I haven't read this (or, if I did, I forgot), but some CP folks also have speech impediments - how is Hassani with verbal communication?
(Also, I had to correct that from "was"... I need to tell my worst instincts to behave and hope for the best here. Such a beautiful little child - hope he's safe.)

The aunt is pregnant? I missed seeing that...
I got that from someone else's post... sorry, I am lousy at fact checking. I will check again, and will delete if I am wrong.

Possibly, but I have a hard time believing there were absolutely no warning signs. More likely she just chose to ignore them.
I don't believe Hassani was in the car at the shoe store. Someone would have seen something. I saw an interview with a police officer (I think it was LE?) saying he had questioned many people who had been outside a nearby bar, and nobody had seen Hassani.

The only details I have seen is that Hassani has CP, wears braces, and has difficulty walking. More details on the extent of his disability would be helpful to anyone who may come across him.

It was in the first news stories.
They said she is six months along.
She looks pregnant in the video.
Thanks - I didn't see the presser, but I'm glad I'm not completely off the mark here...

bbm- they specifically stated it was a newer BMW that they impounded, my guess would be that it has GPS and that unit shows a stop at one or both of these locations. He may have scouted out the first one and then settled on the second. They have been at the park for a loooong time. They have a lead to spend valuable early manhours doing that, it is not random.
