Parents and guardians, please read this post.. This didnt happen to me
but this is a must read for all of us. Everyone should be careful when
bringing your kids in malls and other public places.
Last Friday at about 6:15 p.m. I got a call from my close friend and
kumare, crying and asking my help. My 4 year old godson MJ was missing
at Rockwell. The boy asked permission to go to the toilet at the 2nd
floor. The mother agreed since the toilets for men and women were just
adjacent. The mother got out first from the toilet and waited by the
door. 15 minutes had passed and the boy had not come out. She asked the
help of the janitor to enter the toilet and look for her son. The
janitor came out and told her, there was no boy at the toilet. She could
not believe and ran inside the toilet looking for her son. She became
frantic and started looking for help, she immediately called for the
guard who assisted her. The guard then called their Commander to help in
the search. A frantic effort was made to look for the boy. The
Commander thought that the boy just wandered by himself and went to
another place, level or shop. All the roving guards were mobilized.
After 30 minutes of searching, the boy could not be found. My friend was
already crying and shouting on top of her lungs looking for the boy.
She called me over the cellphone and told me about what happened, I
asked her to calm down as I was trying to analyze the situation. A 4
year old boy will not wander in a place not familiar to him. Something
wrong has happened. I asked her to tell the Commander to order a
lockdown of all exits, parking and pedestrian. All trunks and
compartments of vehicles coming out must be thoroughly inspected. I told
her, I was on my way. I was pondering who could kidnap the boy as the
couple were regular employees. Not the rich type of family who will be
kidnapped. When I arrived, there was a commotion going on. I suggested
that the CCTV footage be reviewed, but eventually yielded negative
results, I kept on thinking. In a kidnapping, the first 45 minutes is
very critical. It is either the person be found or he could be gone. If
the kidnapper was on foot, a radius of 300 meters must be searched, and
the nearest public access to public rides was J.P. Rizal Street. I
immediately boarded my car and sped towards JP Rizal, I was running
against time. Upon reaching JP Rizal, I turned left towards Makati. As I
was cruising, a jeepney in front of me stopped to load a passenger, I
was blowing my horn frantically, then I looked to my left, I saw a 14 to
16 year old boy, in basketball shorts, sando, with a tomahawk cut on
his hair and slippers. He was holding a small child I could not
distinguish because the child was wearing a typical house duster, the
child had an awkward hair cut, an almost skin haired but looks like it
was done in a hush hush. Something didn't look normal to me as the child
was light skinned to come from a poor family, "makinis," and clean
looking. The child looked so afraid with eyes wide open. I shouted "MJ"
and the child started to cry. I looked at the elder boy and told him not
to make a move. He shoved the boy to street on to the oncoming car from
the opposite direction and ran towards Guadalupe. I swerved my car to
block the car and protect the boy, I immediately jumped out of my car
and got the child, It was MJ. I brought him to my car as soon as I can, I
could not give chase as JP Rizal was too tight to make a maneuver or
make a 180 degree turn. I drove to Rockwell. When I brought the boy
back, the mother could not believe what she saw, it was until MJ shouted
"mama" did she realize it was her son.
The boy was drugged in the toilet by a man and carried down. The boy was
handed to another person who took him in a van, from there the boy's
hair was cut and changed clothes into a girl. The boy was about to be
delivered to another group who will turn him into a beggar. The police
conducted an investigation but advised them not to talk to the boy
directly but through a child psychologist, he suffered enough trauma.
DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS OUT OF YOUR SIGHT. NOT EVEN THE SAFEST MALLS,
SHOPPING CENTERS ARE NOT SPARED BY SYNDICATES. IF A CHILD COMES TO YOUR
CAR KNOCKING, PROFILE THE KID AND SENSE SOMETHING IS WRONG. REPORT
IMMEDIATELY TO THE POLICE. A CHILD YOU SAVED MAY BE YOUR FRIEND'S.
