IMMOKALEE, Fla. - One week after Adji Desir disappeared from outside of his grandmother's home at Farm Worker's Village, neighbors are keeping a close eye on their children.
Friday night, both children and adults in the area say they believe Adji was abducted.
"I think someone took him," Abigail Olvera says.
Her younger sister was one of the last people to see Adji. She was playing with him outside with several other kids before he disappeared.
She says Adji walked down the street, and that was the last time she saw him.
These girls say Adji's disappearance has shaken the entire community and changed the way parents watch their kids.
"I'm always with my mom," Jasmine Machado says.
"Parents are keeping their kids inside of the house, not outside," Olvera adds.
Even though its been nearly a week with no signs of Adji, Friday night, his parents said they still believe he is okay.
