A 14-year-old student, identified in reports as Davoris Carter, disappears while swimming off the New Jersey coast during a school trip. The incident occurs Monday afternoon in Wildwood, according to multiple outlets. Carter was reported to have gone into the water, and he does not return. His swim shorts are reportedly found later by his mother.
Family members describe him as a “happy kid” and say the disappearance happens only two days before his scheduled graduation. One report also notes that Carter has special needs, and the family alleges that school supervisors were not taking sufficient action, characterizing their response as passive.
The accounts are consistent on the basic timeline and location: a school-sponsored outing to the New Jersey beach area, Carter entering the water, and his subsequent disappearance. Details about the search, any official investigation findings, and the circumstances of supervision were not provided in the excerpts shared.
