Police are searching for two boys, one of whom has autism, who went missing separately in NSW this week.
Garry Barrington, 11, did not return home from his Mascot school on Thursday afternoon and has not been heard from since. The Maroubra boy is believed to frequent the Waterloo area.
Emergency crews have been looking for Charles Brennan, 16, after he was last seen leaving his home at Bigga, near Crookwell, about 6.30pm on Friday.

He has autism and police believe he might have tried to hitch-hike to Goulburn.
A NSW Police Media spokesman said the incidents were unrelated but police were particularly worried about both boys because they were so young.
"With the young boy from Crookwell, it's a country area and we understand it's fairly rugged terrain so we're concerned for his welfare, particularly if he's been out overnight," the spokesman said.
"The other thing we're asking is if anyone has given someone in that area a lift, to a hospital or a house or anywhere, to come forward.
"Nothing is too small a piece of information."
Charles was described as about 180 centimetres tall with a skinny build and dark, short hair.
He was last seen wearing a hooded jumper, tracksuit pants and no shoes.
"With the boy from Maroubra, we'd be worried a young boy walking around the Sydney CBD could get into trouble," the spokesman said.
"Or if he's safe and well at a friend's place or somewhere else we'd want to know that information."
Garry is described as thin and about 165 centimetres tall.
He has brown hair with a blond streak on the right side of his head.
He was last seen wearing a green T-shirt, shorts and white shoes.
Anyone who knows of the boys' whereabouts should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online at police.nsw.gov.au.
Anyone with information about Charles's whereabouts can phone Goulburn police on 48240799.
