More than 150 police officers combed through the early-morning dense fog of Southwest Florida Tuesday, searching for a 6-year-old, developmentally disabled boy who went missing over the weekend.

Authorities say that Adji Desir has the mind of a 2-year-old and speaks only Creole. He knows his name but cannot speak very well, they say.  Adji is 3-feet tall and 45 pounds, has short black hair and dark eyes.

The disappearance of Desir from Immokalee (Fla.) Farm Worker Village has rocked the community. Generally, children play outside with nary a thought about them being abducted, the Naples News reports. That has changed.

“I won’t let them out now,” Village resident Wendy Salas, 20, told the newspaper. Fellow resident Nadaish “Nana” Dore, 26, agreed. “Nothing like this has ever happened,” said Dore.

“There’s something going on here. This is a good community.” Collier County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Michelle Batten said, “If he’s out in the woods, hopefully he’s curled up somewhere, keeping warm. We’re going to find him. From what we’ve been told, he’s not a kid who runs away. We don’t have any reports of him ever straying before.”
