Search continues for autistic boy in San Bernardino mountains

Authorities planned to search the woods of a San Bernardino Mountains community overnight for a severely autistic 8-year-old boy who ran away from his elementary school during morning recess.

San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said Joshua Robb ran out of the gates of Grandview Elementary School's playground in Arrowhead about 11 a.m. Monday.

School staff pursued him, but the 4-foot, 6-inch boy ran into nearby woods and had not been found as of 11:15 p.m. Monday, Bachman said.

"There's no sign of him," she said.
