UPDATE...UPDATE...UPDATE...
In the piece below, I debunked the Daily Snooze and their shit-head reporters who are either blind, or willfully distorted the truth to get readers to buy their crappy paper.
I said that there was no way the photo they published was the missing Avontayyyyyyy.
What a crock, that they'd print the photo on their website and have dozens of monkey-brained ignorant stupid crybaby wimps saying "Oh it's him, it has to be."
NOVEMBER 1, the day AFTER I wrote the piece below, the Daily Snooze has admitted (very quietly and on an inconspicuous page) that the kid in the photo IS NOT Avontayyyyy after all. No, their reporters didn't find it out. The kid and his parents went to the police, quite disturbed to find their privacy invaded by a stupid piece in the Daily Snooze. That kid does not need to be constantly bothered by morons who've been stirred up insane newspaper hysteria.
Unfortunately sob sisters with nothing better to do, are still plastering ugly Avontayyyyyy's picture all over the bus shelters and lamp posts, so a lot of ugly kids are going to be accosted with "Are you Avontayyyyyy" questions. Muslims facing Mecca and washing their feet 10 times a day aren't this obsessive-compulsive and just plain stupid.
The stupid kid wandered off. What do you expect? Since he's too fucking ugly to be captured and held a sex slave somewhere, even in a city of thousands of perverts, the odds are 500-1 that he's dead. The only real question is where's the corpse, and if he died by accident, like falling into the river, or down a sewer, or if some asshole did him in and hid the body. If there's an update on that, it'll be posted here.
Again, it's sad that handicapped kids, or ANY kids go missing, but it's obnoxious when ONE kid gets preferential treatment and it drags on for weeks and weeks.
And a big FUCK YOU to the Daily Snooze and to its blind and/or retarded readers who couldn't tell that Avontayyyyy and that kid on the subway were NOT IDENTICAL.

With good Samaritans dutifully brainwashed into putting posters up on every lamp post and bus shelter, the missing autistic kid has become New York City's biggest entertainment preoccupation...aside from Banksy's self promotions for profit.
It's like switching channels from "Sorry, I Haven't a Clue" to "Who Wants to be a Millionaire."
You'd think that in this age of ADD and instagram, BOTH of these morons would've been drawing nothing by yawns by now. Avonte or Banksy...there has to be some other people to feed the morbidly warped entertainment interests of the public.
The problem is that the news is now the amusement business, and with newspapers cutting back on reporters, it's a lot easier to go with a proven attention-getter. It does help if it's a Kanye, Miley, Gaga or Kardashian, who have their own publicists to feed free stories, and are doing something asshole-ish every day.
"BANKSY" is his own publicist, announcing every day in October where to find his latest stupid stencil. This made it easy for hacks (like the staff of the Daily Snooze) to get behind him, have something easy to write up, and give him all the attention he needed to rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars for himself.
As for the missing retard...that's easy for reporters, too. Just whine "WHERE IS HE" day after day, and repeat all the details everybody already knows. If some cynic or realist asks, "Don't you have ANY other missing kid to report on? Any other crime in a city of 9 million people," the answer is an indignant, "NEVER forget AVONTE!"
So for most of this month, "BANKSY" hype has been unavoidable, and nobody walking to work could avoid seeing the ugly mug of Avontayyyyyyyyyyyy haplessly staring off a poster like a stuffed wombat.
Nothing else going on in the city? In the world? Nah. The mayoral election isn't close, and people are just hobbling along and rolling their eyes over the fact that the government's health care website doesn't work as smoothly as Kickass Torrents or Pirate Bay, and people can't sign up for health care.
Now this, the day before Halloween.
Oooh! Isn't that Avontayyyyyyyyyyy?
A 13 year-old with a cell phone (of course...kids in the housing projects can even get a free one and free unlimited calling thanks to the government) snapped the picture.
Too bad the 13 year-old was a retard who didn't think to contact the train conductor, or follow the fake-Avonte. But still, he did take a photo.
And the DaIly Snooze showed it to Avonte's father.
His father says "It's very close. I'm not sure."
That's because the father is almost as stupid as the son.
Give-away signs? First off, he's not wearing the same clothes as when he went missing...and a fuck-up who can't speak is not likely to suddenly be on a subway after three weeks, clean and neat and in an entirely different outfit from when he literally ran off (surveillance cameras caught this) from school.
"Ooh! A homeless man may have taken care of him all that time, and fed him scraps. Ummm! He could have been taken in by someone who didn't know to call the police, and got him an outfit to wear and stuff..."
That's the level of STUPID in New York City, at least among website comments at the Daily News site (the same site that has been feverishly promoting every Banksy move, and cheering Banksy for painting a Nazi and donating it to charity).
There are thousands of kids who look like Avontayyyyyyyyyyy. Stupid looking kids are everywhere. THIS stupid kid was probably told by his mother NOT to talk to strangers. If you bother to look closely at ALL, and have any skills at detection, you know exactly what to look for in making a positive identification: ear shape, nose shape and eyes. Lips? Let's not go there, girlfriend!
The real Avontayyyyyyyy has a kind of pointiness to the top of his ear that subway-boy lacks. The nostril is also at something of an angle. The llama-eyes are fairly close in both pictures, but the bigger pair belong to Avontayyyyyyyyy. This ain't him. But hey, let's sell some newspapers and keep up the fucking frenzy. Nothing better to do.
And I say NOTHING BETTER TO DO, because read the last fucking line of the article. Do you believe it?
What's up with ROBERT RICHARD, folks?
He's not black? Or black-Hispanic? He doesn't have a stupid-enough name? Why is it that this 14 year-old doesn't rate a photo? He's a kid. He's missing. The newspaper mentions his name and that he's missing. But a photo? Shit, no!
That's the way print journalists are these days. Incompetent assholes. Tunnel-vision. They run with one story and beat it to death every day. When it becomes boring and ridiculous, and even a little heartless and twisted, the response is a solemn, "Never forget!" Right. Only we are also supposed to not forget Trayyyyyyyyvon and not forget Trayyyyyyon, so we have to add a missing retard too? Avontayyyyyyyy?
Ever hear the phrase, "I've got troubles of my own?"
I'm sure that's being said by the hundreds, and THOUSANDS of people who at this moment are looking for somebody gone missing, hoping to find a rapist, asking the police to catch a serial robber or even a killer terrorizing bodegas or low-income housing projects. Do they get to see a snapshot of a loved one, or a mugshot or surveillance image of the perp plastered on every lamp post or given a few square inches in a 100 page newspaper? Nah. There could be an entire page in every issue of the newspaper for "Have you seen these monkey bastard creeps?" or "Have you seen this missing child?" But that might interfere with all the coverage of Kanye and Kim, or the huge amount of wasted pulp devoted to fashion or sports.
The head of the police department said that finding this kid seems like a longshot now, and that it's probably too late. He had to apologize to the kid's family for that, and watch as the Rev. Al Sharpton (who caused race riots and pure hell in the fraudulent Tawana Brawley fake-abduction case) led the charge to raise the reward to $85,000.
So today, Halloween, there are probably some bounty-hunting assholes trawling the subways and pestering all the unfortunate ugly tweens who happen to look something like Avontayyyyyyyy.
"Hey, you look like that missing moron! Show me some identification. Why don't I stop this train and pull the emergency cord. I want some MONEY and Banksy took away the spray-paint-shit-on-buildings option."
