9-year-old Brooklyn boy, Leibby Kletzky, missing after leaving day camp, $100,000 reward offered

A frantic, full-scale search kicked into high gear Tuesday for a missing boy who disappeared after leaving a Brooklyn day camp.

Leibby Kletzky, 9, was last seen at his school, Yeshiva Boyan in Borough Park, around 5 p.m. Monday after coming back from a field trip, cops said.

The Orthodox Jewish boy was supposed to meet his mother soon after but never showed up.

There were conflicting reports that a surveillance camera captured images of the boy walking at the corner of 13th Ave. and 50th St.

Volunteers have scoured the neighborhood since, but the boy remains missing.

"Right now, as we speak, (police) dogs are tracking the boy's scent," said Jacob Daskel, coordinator of Borough Park Shomrim neighborhood patrol. "We are trying to map out a map detailing where he has been."

Several business leaders in the community along with Assemblyman Dov Hikind have offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the boy's safe return.

"This is every parent's and every community's worst nightmare," Hikind said. "Anyone with credible information of Leibby's whereabouts should immediately contact the authorities."

The boys parents held vigil in the family's home on 15th Ave. Leibby is the second youngest of their five children, neighbors said,.

"Leibby is a carbon copy of his dad. He's a very good kid, a great kid. He's an angel. He has no rebellious streak to him," said family fried Schmuel Eckstein.

Daskel said those who knew the boy could not imagine he would have wandered off on his own.

"The boy's teachers told us he is very obedient. Very quiet. If someone told him to get in a car. He would listen. We hope and pray that someone hasn't done that," Daskel said.

Leibby is about 4 feet tall and weighs 50 pounds. He was last seen wearing a blue shirt with green and white stripes, blue pants, black leather belt, black socks, black sneakers and a knapsack reading "Nechmod Day Camp."

Daskel said searchers worried that if the boy had been abducted, efforts may have been made to obscure his identity.

"Maybe someone cut off his payes \[side-locks\] and took off his yarmulke," he said. "Keep a look out for that."

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at (800) 577-TIPS.

How horribly tragic for the family. I can't even imagine what they're going through now. I hope the little guy is found safe and sound. Prayers for his safe return.

Fee-fie-foe-fum,
I smell the stink of a Mohammedan.

Maybe I’m just paranoid.

I was thinking the same thing.

So, we’re both paranoid. Big deal.

President Omoslem will call the family to offer his condolences, before muttering under his breath, “And pull back to the 1967 borders.”

I hope the kid’s ok.

If a moslem took him, someone will take the Ground Zero mosque and ram it up Bloomberg’s a**.

Mark my words.

Oh yeah, that's the first thing I thought of. If you think about it, there is no mistaking whether someone is jewish when they are dressed Hasidic. So now it begins. Just wait till the fact that we ship our medical records overseas to be rifled through by the savage muslims. They will target the sick and infirm first. Then the rest of us.

Praying for his safe return. Like you, I can’t imagine what his loved ones are going through. Please keep us updated.

If that were the case I think the boy would have been found dead already. I don’t think a Jihadist would play around with a kid. More likely to just take the kid in to a alley and behead him.

I would expect this to be the work of a pedophile

I found a FOX news article with few details. It makes me wonder if a muzzie did it.

You’re probably right, since the body has not yet been found, and no ransom note has been sent.

As for pedophiles, what’s the problem? After all, they’re born that way, right? It would be bigoted of us to blame the pedophile or even to imprison him. We must understand him and help him meet his needs in legitimate fashion. Maybe he can be happy with blow-up dolls or kiddie-porn until they legalize pedophilia.
