Autistic boy, 11, vanished from California supermarket... where cops found him made parents' blood run cold
A non-verbal autistic 11-year-old boy who vanished from a grocery store was eventually found wandering onto a California freeway by police. On March 9, the San Diego County Sheriff's Office received a report about the child fleeing the store while shopping with his family, the department said. Deputies from the Santee Sheriff's Station immediately started searching for the child along with an ASTREA helicopter that began making announcements to advise the public of his disappearance. Around 5.15pm, off-duty Sheriff's Dispatcher Shiloh Corbet spotted the unidentified boy while on her way home from work and immediately called the department's communications center to report the sighting. While she was on the phone, Corbet noticed the child starting to run toward the freeway on-ramp, leading her to stop her car and follow him. The child had made his way to the shoulder of the busy road when she reached him he crossed the westbound lanes and was standing in the center divider, according to the sheriff's office. Corbet then called out the child's name that she was told by the communications center and told him to stay where he was for his own safety. Deputies Cody Green and Michael Moser soon arrived at the scene and tried to approach the boy at the top of the steep embankment, but he moved away from them. Dramatic video showed the boy, dressed in red shorts and black t-shirt crouching down along the ramp before turning around and running up and onto the freeway. He then hopped over an embankment and ran before the officers approached him and brought him to safety. The missing child was then reunited with his worried family. No one was injured. 'The San Diego County Sheriff's Office wants to thank Sheriff's Dispatcher Shiloh Corbet, Deputies Cody Green and Michael Moser, as well as the Santee Sheriff's Station, Lakeside Sheriff's Substation, Sheriff's ASTREA, Sheriff's Communications Center and several Good Samaritans, for working together to find the missing child and getting him to safety,' the department said. The agency also noted that April is Autism Awareness Month, while mentioning their free Take Home Program which helps if 'they get lost or wander away.' 'The physical and medical information you provide and other pertinent details about their care will help tailor our search and rescue response to help bring the patient home safely,' it added. The boy's rescue comes just a little more than a week after another non-verbal autistic boy from Texas went missing in New York City before being found trekking four miles all by himself to get a glimpse of the Empire State Building. Seven-year-old Ruwaid Karim walked out of Dera Restaurant in Jackson Heights, Queens around 11.45am April 18 while he was having breakfast with his mother Farjana Akond. She quickly reported him missing as the NYPD posted several images of him to social media, including him in the restaurant just before he walked out. Police were later notified after a Good Samaritan noticed the little boy walking along E. 61st Street in Manhattan - 4.2 miles from where he started. Just as he was walking out into traffic, the woman darted after him and brought him to safety before calling 911. She said Karim, who has an obsession with NYC landmarks, then ran into 57th Street and got honked at by several cars coming in different directions before she grabbed him. 'There were two different cars going each way that stopped and they were honking their horns, and he just kept going, and I was trying to get him but I didn't want to get hit either, so he was a little more of a hero than I was running into the middle of the street,' she explained. Once officers arrived at the scene, they quickly identified him as the missing boy and reunited him with his mother and sister.

The film hits streaming following a highly successful awards season culminating at the Oscars, where it won multiple awards, including Best Actor for lead Adrien Brody, Best Original Score for Daniel Blumberg and Best Cinematography for Lol Crawley. More from Deadline Brady Corbet Says 'The Brutalist' Made Him 'Zero Dollars' & Fellow Oscar-Nominated Directors 'Can't Pay Their Rent' David Cronenberg Thinks 'The Brutalist's AI Controversy Was A Smear Campaign: 'Just A Part Of Moviemaking' 'Harry Potter' TV Series Officially Casts John Lithgow, Nick Frost, Janet McTeer & Paapa Essiedu Among 6 Co-written and directed by Brady Corbet (Vox Lux), The Brutalist centers on László Toth (Brody), a visionary architect escaping post-war Europe, who arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet (Academy Award nominee Felicity Jones) after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes.

An Indie-Dominated Oscars Gives Us Hope for Film's Future
Best wishes to whichever journalist next attempts to ask 'Anora' filmmaker Sean Baker the now dead-tired Marvel question. No, after winning four Oscars (a new record for any filmmaker for a single film) for his latest indie effort, Baker will not be pursuing a new career in blockbuster filmmaking, and thank goodness for that. Just one week before his massive Oscars sweep, the self-professed 'indie film lifer' took to the stage at the Independent Spirit Awards to accept his Best Director win, using his platform to call out the inequity he sees in the industry he loves so well and make his allegiances known. More from IndieWire The 'White Lotus' Trio of Female Friends Is TV's Answer to Robert Altman's '3 Women' Oscars Review: Conan O'Brien Nails a Ceremony That's Sincere and Silly in All the Right Places 'I know that there are other indie film lifers in this room, those who don't see indie films as calling cards, those who don't make these films to land a series or a studio film,' Baker said at the Spirits. 'Some of us want to make personal films that are intended for theatrical release with subject matter that would never be greenlit by the big studios. We want complete artistic freedom and the freedom to cast who is right for the role, not who we're forced to cast considering box office value, or how many followers they have on social media.' Baker was not the only independent filmmaker to win big at the Oscars (and how telling that this year marked the first time Baker, who has been making signature, scrappy films for over two decades, was nominated for any Oscars at all), and the 2025 ceremony will forever stand out for the sheer number of truly indie projects that dominated there. Brady Corbet's staggering historical epic 'The Brutalist' (which A24 picked up after its 2024 Venice debut) was notoriously made for just $10 million (and almost wasn't made at all, after Corbet had to re-cast the entire feature after the COVID-19 pandemic derailed original shooting plans). On Oscar Sunday, Corbet's film walked away with three wins, including star Adrien Brody's second Best Actor win, plus nods for Lol Crawley's cinematography and Daniel Blumberg's score. 'No Other Land,' a film that notably still does not yet have U.S. distribution, picked up a historic win for Best Documentary Feature. Upon accepting his Oscar, co-director Yuval Abraham said, 'We made this film, Palestinians and Israelis, because together our voices are stronger. We see each other. The atrocious destruction of Gaza and its people, which must end, the Israeli hostages brutally taken in the crime of October 7, which must be freed.' It was the most poignant, powerful moment at this year's Oscars, and one only possible because of the endurance of, yes, an indie film project. Elsewhere, Gints Zilbalodis' endlessly charming and inventive animated gem 'Flow' became the first indie to ever win the Best Animated Feature Oscar, a masterclass in invention and making do with the tools available. The tale of a cat (and other assorted animal friends and foes) who must make their way through a suddenly flooded and human-free world was made by Zilbalodis and a cadre of recent graduates for under 3.5 million euros (Sideshow and Janus Films later picked it up). The film had such a tight budget, Zilbalodis told IndieWire at the Globes red carpet that it has no deleted scenes — everything he and his team animated is in the film. There was no room or budget for extraneous effort. Using what you've got. The numbers don't lie. Indie offerings were the best of 2024, as Neon led the pack for all winners with its five wins for 'Anora.' Big five studios like Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. had to make do with just two apiece (studio-owned specialty labels, including Focus Features, Sony Pictures Classics, and Searchlight Pictures, each also took home one win each). Also on the board? Boutique outfits Mubi and Sideshow/Janus Films, who also scored one each (for 'The Substance' and 'Flow,' respectively). Worried about the state of film? Just look at the originality and ingenuity on display across the night's biggest winners. Film isn't dead, never has been, and now suddenly feels flush with talent eager and able to make films with true artistic freedom. Now, it's on the backers of those films to meet the moment and truly support indie film and its incredible value. As of Sunday night, those films were hailed with the big-time bonus of an Oscar (or four) to boot. An Oscar may not be the end-all, be-all for these artists, but it sure does help send a message about what's worth watching these days, the best of the bunch. Backstage at the Oscars on Sunday night, a dazzled Baker spoke to the joy of simply getting into these hallowed rooms. 'This is such a great batch of films this year … for us to be in that conversation this year with these other wonderful independents, it means everything,' he said. 'To get into the same room as a movie such as 'Wicked,' a wonderful movie, but a totally different film from ours, it means we're doing something right.'
