Missing Special Needs Man Found Safe

Roz Sarmiento went missing late Tuesday morning in Redwood City.

A missing 19-year-old special-needs Canada College student was found safe early Thursday morning after authorities had been for him since Tuesday, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.

Roz Sarmiento, who lives in South San Francisco, has been reunited with his family this morning after he was reported missing Tuesday afternoon from Canada College, located at 4200 Farm Hill Blvd. in Redwood City.

Stanford Medical Center officials called the sheriff's office around 4 a.m. and said Sarmiento had walked into the emergency room alone and check himself in, according to sheriff's officials.

Deputies responded to the hospital and found Sarmiento in good condition, according to the sheriff's office.

Sarmiento was reported missing after he was last seen on campus leaving class for lunch around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to sheriff's officials.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
