Middle School Kid Missing
Unconfirmed: Aaron Michael Horton was reunited with his family on Friday after being found at the Tropical Lagoon Aquarium on Georgia Avenue. (Nov. 18, 2006)
Police are looking for an 11-year-old Silver Spring boy who has been missing since Wednesday afternoon, NBC 4 News reports.
Aaron Michael Horton (above) was last seen getting off the school bus on the east side of 16th Street between Colesville Road and East-West Highway, near the Falkland Chase apartments. Horton never made it home to his apartment at The Blairs.
Horton is black, about 4 feet tall and weighs 70 pounds. He was wearing a red knit hat, red turtleneck, red jacket and khaki pants. His family said that he likes to visit the Tropical Lagoon Aquarium on Georgia Avenue near Seminary Place.
The police said that Horton misbehaved at school on Wednesday and might not have wanted to face his family with the news. His family, however, said it was weird that Horton hadn't called anyone yet, because he didn't usually go places on his own.
Fliers featuring Horton's photo and description were posted throughout The Blairs on Thursday night. Anyone with information about this case should call the cops at (301) 279-8000 or (240) 773-5400.

Thanks for your comment. I hope Aaron gets home safely, too.
Regarding his school bus stop, it was on the northbound (ie, the east) side of 16th Street, just north of where it meets Colesville Road and south of its intersection with East-West Highway.
Kinda like spokes on a wheel: 16th Street runs due north, while Colesville leans to the northeast. East-West runs, well, east to west. This map, which appears as a hyperlink in the original post, may help.
I'm open to suggestions as to how I might better describe the area. Holler back if you've got any ideas.
