Newport Pagnell: Nine-hour search as boy vanishes from M1 services

SIX years old-Not as if it was an inbetweeners type local comp day out.

Found 9 hours later at 4 in the morning by some road works

Freezing cold night , Back home unharmed , Was shannon mathews in the Area ??

His father thanked those who helped, saying 'more than 1,000' looked for him , police , fire, Search and rescue volunteers and helicopter .

The boy was found near Newbolt Close, a ten-minute walk and half a mile away from the service station where he disappeared.

Mirror Online that his son was on the same trip and had been visiting the Museum of London.

Took their time ....missing 9 hours

i escaped from school one day, aged about six, went to old ladies house
that i knew as her dog was poorly and i was worried. went home about
5pm after almost a whole day there.

dog was ok, school, parents worried and i guess i was watched after that.

kids are masters of escape, so pleased he has been found safe.

school will doubtless learn from their errors

Yes great he is ok , a very Lucky young lad ,as you say needs looking at how he has got away , 6 yo Kids and Motorways are not a good mix .

Looks like he didn’t speak English so couldn’t ask for help.

As an aside, what is the point of a school trip for 6-year-olds to the Museum of London?

maybe one of the teachers is a clash fan ?

Bit young to be enjoying life in the fast lane

Never realised there were so many blind people in Bucks..

its the society we,ve created what person especially male would confront a young kid in street start asking questions etc,minefield if he,s just walked away from his parents who are 50 yds away,watching you, best not to cross the road

I had that dilemma last summer, walking to the fish and chip shop. The other way came two young children, a 3- or 4-year old boy with his 2yo brother running to keep up, and wearing only a nappy, and no sign of any parents. They were obviously lost but what would their parents, or the police, think if they saw them being led by a strange man after I'd caught the boys?

Cowardice won out and I let them pass, and stood and watched, feeling guilty, then set after them until they were stopped by a woman pruning her roses. Back on the way to the fish and chip shop I saw a woman looking anxious, and gestured two children and  when she nodded, pointed mum in the right direction.

All worked out in the end. The family was reunited and I avoided being beaten up by a half-cut mob of self-righteous nonce-hunters. Luckily the gardening woman was made of sterner stuff.

Ram - it's a minefield.

Every amateur sports club now has a child protection officer or 'welfare officer'. Suspicion is rife.

it is a shame we didn't have this concern over rotherham and 20 other towns and cities

where was the child protection there

oh sorry we must not upset one particular community

but then there's several million votes to consider

The girls in Rotherham were not six years old and did not go missing. There is no connection at all.

that is sad that you see no connection never mind it can't be helped

a trip to London for 6 year olds  , like wtf ?


moisok ...huge difference
