3-Year Old Boy Missing - Spreading the word
UPDATE: Last week, the boy who was kidnapped at Festival Mall Alabang has been found. He was seen walking around the streets of Sta. Rosa, Laguna begging for alms. Thanks to the internet and civilian vigilance, the boy has been returned to his parents. Let this story be a lesson to all: first, to take care of our kids; second, that a little "distrust" can somehow save your and your loved ones’ lives; and third, to never underestimate the power of the internet.
Below is the original post made on July 24, two days after the boy went missing:
A friend of mine posted this announcement on her Multiply blog about a boy who went missing (kidnapped?) in a mall down south of Metro Manila, and felt I also need to spread the word.
Some details from the boy’s aunt’s blog:
The missing kid is Matthew David Samudio, 3 years old, from Muntinlupa. He was last seen on July 22 at Tom’s World Arcade inside Festival Mall Alabang wearing green checkered polo, maong pants and green Mr. Bean Slippers.
The theory of him being kidnapped cropped up when, upon reviewing the mall’s surveillance camera, they saw a tween girl calling his attention and leading him somewhere, away from his companions.
If anyone has any information, please call the local police or the parents of the boy. Spread the word, too.
And to my friends who have kids of their own, take caution as well.
