14-year-old autistic boy from Brooklyn was returned safely to his mother after he spent the weekend playing video games at Dave & Busters in Times Square. 

Eliceo Corez had previously been seen on security camera footage getting on the Q train at Sheepshead Bay on Friday. “I’m glad he’s home, that’s the main thing,” the boy's mother, Nancy Reavis, told 1010 WINS.

Reavis said she had asked officials at Corez's high school to provide him a helper to make sure he got home safely: “This is what has to happen so they can help me?" While it's great that Corez was found, she seems to have a point.
