10-year-old boy with serious illness missing in Croydon

[Islingtonian]

Malikhi ran away from home at 1am this morning and has adrenal hyperplasia, which means he needs medication three times a day. It can be life-threatening. apparently. I really, really hope he's found soon. As if it's not terrifying enough that a child is out there on his own, he's probably missed two doses of his medicine already. Poor little boy.

Police say he may already be in a coma twitter.com/MPSCroydon/status/582870299902943232

Bump

Oh little love . I am nowhere near but hope to goodness he is found soon.

Bumping again...London/Surrey folk need to see this

"Malakhi has connections to the Thornton Heath, Victoria and Croydon areas and may be travelling on public transport. The last sighting of him was at 7am and he does not have a phone, Oyster card or any money on him."

As he's 10, he could be getting round by bus without an Oyster. I hope he's gone to somewhere safe, and is with people who will seek medical help (and that predictions of coma are worst case, not imminent likelihood).

.

Last sighting now reported as CCTV 7:30am on Thornton Heath High Street.

He appears to have left his home of his own volition, and is wearing navy coat with fur-trimmed hood, black jeans and red T-shirt with a meerkat on it.

Bump

Coma or not he will be really tired.

I'm local so have shared on FB. Fingers crossed he's found safe and well asap

He may have been on the 250 bus heading for Brixton (according to this article from The Telegraph).

Hope he's found soon.

He appears to be quite distinctive so long as he is wearing glasses and has same hairstyle. Also, you would notice a youngster on his own in the early morning, before the school run.

He's been found! Thank goodness. Will post the sky news link

Oh phew.

My dc's know this little lad. He's one of the cleverest children at school and has a lovely family. I've had a lump in my throat since reading about him going missing, thinking about his parents and his siblings. I'm really really really glad he's been found.

Ah, that's a lovely post, Beloved. I'm so so relieved he's ok

So pleased to read that!

Oh good!
