Intensive Search for Missing Autistic Boy in Germany

For over a week, authorities in Weilburg have been searching for six-year-old Pawlos, who has autism and went missing from his special needs school. The search, which began last Tuesday, has expanded with significant resources, including digital information boards, a rescue dog unit, and support from the water police and a helicopter. A video showing Pawlos on a street provides no evidence of foul play. Inspired by a similar case last year, the police are not ruling out any possibilities and continue to seek public assistance.

The Bundeswehr, Germany's armed forces, has joined the efforts, deploying a reconnaissance aircraft to capture high-resolution images that might help locate the boy. The Luftwaffe's involvement underscores the urgency and complexity of the search, as experts emphasize the importance of Pawlos having access to water for survival. Despite the extensive search and technological aid, the search remains challenging, and officials hope for a breakthrough soon.
