This kid is going to be trouble! I also think it's awesome he had a good time. When I was his age I was traveling around on my own using public transportation and stuff. It wasn't unusual for us kids to take off and have fun.

NEW YORK (AP) - A 9-year-old boy who got separated from his family at the Central Park Zoo says being lost for two hours in New York City was the greatest day of his life.

Chris Villavicencio of Union City, New Jersey, got separated from his parents and younger sister Saturday afternoon.

He left the zoo and wandered around Times Square until police found him at the Port Authority Bus Terminal more than a mile away.

Meanwhile, the boy's panicked parents reported him missing to police in Central Park.

When the family was reunited, Chris's father clutched him tightly and wept.

The boy said, "This was the greatest day of my life because this was the first day I was at the police station!"

Stop it. He's a little boy who had a good time. My brother used to skip out on my mom all the time. Got to a point where she had to use one of those little baby leashes on him. I wonder if they sell those anymore? Probably think it's cruel.

One of the British newspapers reported that the cops deemed the kid slightly autistic. Pfft. they use Autism for every bad behavior these days and who the frig are the cops to determine this?
