Officials said Sony Georges told his older brother Sunday afternoon that he was “going to the lake,” meaning nearby Lake Cannon, a few blocks away from their home, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Sony’s mother was at work at the time, between 4 and 5 p.m., and his older siblings were watching him.
