Police, neighbors search Lenexa neighborhood for missing 3-year-old

My little dude just turned 3, so this hits really close to home. I just keep picturing him out in the freezing cold barefoot :( Keep an eye out Lenexans.

A Lenexa neighborhood is out in force this morning, searching for a 3-year-old boy who has been missing from his apartment for hours in the bitter cold.

The boy is barefoot and wearing only cartoon car pajamas. He might have left his apartment in the 9500 block of Monrovia with the family dog, a white and tan Yorkie, and could be carrying a small, black and gray purse.

His mother called police when she saw he was gone about 4:45 a.m. Police said he has let himself out before.

Surrounding agencies are helping Lenexa officers look for the boy, and his neighbors have joined in the search.

Alone and in pairs, some with flashlights, they are looking in bushes, alleys and backyards around the neighborhood near Oak Park Mall.

Chris Shanks is searching alongside Gus, her chocolate Labrador. “I thought maybe the boy’s dog might be drawn to him,” she said.

WTF? how does this happen? This is right down the street from me. Bitter cold out this morning as well.

Mom forgot to lock the door? There is usually more to these types of stories. Hope the kid is found ok....

How cold is it in KC today?

If your child has let himself out before, then you take measures to make sure it doesn't happen again.

FOUND. He and dog is ok. They were found in a nearby appartment building.

I'm not there, but I think single digits.

Last I saw it was 11, with a wind chill of -4. And that was in Olathe, so I can only imagine how bad it is in the rest of the metro.

Awesome.

it was VERY cold this morning.

Need better family control laws!

Yeah, he's been found. Just saw it reported by the news on Facebook.

Man. Parents have GOT to come up with a better way of securing the little dude, especially since he's done it before.

On a brighter note, he was found. Hopefully this will be one of those stories people bring up for a laugh at his wedding toast some day.
