OZZY OSBOURNE Songs Help Find Missing Boy

September 15, 2011

The Pulse Of Radio reports that Ozzy Osbourne's music played a role in locating an eight-year-old California boy with autism who went missing on Monday (September 12),according to KABC-TV in Los Angeles. Joshua Robb vanished earlier that day and search-and-rescue teams were unable to find him due to fierce lightning and heavy downpours in the woods near where he lives by the San Bernardino mountains. Joshua was found the next day (September 13) when the search resumed, dehydrated and tired, but in good shape.

Authorities played songs from Ozzy and some of Joshua's favorite country artists, with a police spokesperson saying, "They feel it will comfort him and draw him."

Joshua's parents warned that their son, who is severely autistic, might have been scared away by a bullhorn or helicopter calling for him.

Police said Joshua squeezed between the bars of a metal playground fence at his school. Staff members chased after him but couldn't catch him.

Authorities recently removed Joshua from his parents' custody and put him under the care of his teacher after someone saw the boy being tied to a pole, something Joshua's father, Ron Robb, said they did to restrain him.

Ozzy's camp has not commented on the report.
