They left him in a area full of bears. I hope they are arrested.

This story has really shocked me. Poor poor little boy. And I can't believe what the parents did, but part of me feels sorry for them too. They must be in hell right now

[CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger]

Cannot fathom what the hell possessed them - utterly unbelievable.

I hope he is found hiding somewhere, and that his parents have the book thrown at them.

[WhiskyTangoFoxtrot]

Oh, that's horrid.

They could all have been eaten by bears if it's that populated by them.

I wonder why they changed their story?

[VanessaBet]

My guess is that it wasn't 5 minutes either. Bet that's been whittled down and it was longer. Poor child.

[YouSay]

I can't stop thinking how scared he must be. They have hundreds out looking for 2 days now but still no sign

[Alibobbob]

That's awful poor little boy. I hope he's found safe x

[Buggers]

I'm not believing they left him for 5 minutes either, have a feeling they know more than their telling the police. Really hope the poor little boy is ok.

[FructoseTart]

Holy crap!

Hope he's found safe and well but I very much doubt it. How scared must he have been. Poor little boy!

[Hassled]

I've done the pretending I'm walking away thing before but 500 metres in a forest? Barking, barking mad. Poor kid.

[YouSay]

It is very strange. I think there has to be more to this story. Who brings their kids for a day out to an area populated with bears?

[PointlessUsername]

Hope he is found safe and well.

[ShatnersBassoon]

Even if it was just 5 minutes, that's a very long time to want to terrify a child for. What the hell were these idiots trying to teach the poor thing?

[MrsSpecter]

Yeah thats an odd destination for a family outing.

And all those people now at risk from bears whilst they help look for a child that probably wont be found.

[WilentSitness]

Well, this isn't a western middle class family presumably, so our ideals are probably quite different.

[crazymammy]

I have no words

[CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger]

Ideals? Irrespective of culture, leaving your young child alone in a forest known to be home to bears is not acceptable!

[nancy75]

Actually the bears are just an added issue, who leaves their little kid in any forest on their own? It's just awful

[nilbyname]

wilent I can't really explain why but I find your post quite racist.

White middle class people abuse, neglect and do all sorts of horrible things to their children.

[OhNoNotMyBaby]

Fructose Exactly how are you managing to draw a comparison between this story and Madeleine McCann? How totally ridiculous...
