Child abduction at AMK Hub

[MrsSeah]

pinky:

I read a very touching report on a PRC mother whose son was stolen while playing outside the house. He was only a toddler then and despite many pleas to the police for action, they did not bother because the traffickers actually bribed the police. So she left her husband behind, moved from village to village wearing a signboard of her son's photo and

earned a living by singing to the villagers. She said she would not give up
looking for her son even if it takes forever. People told her that the photo
may no longer be relevant bec her son's features may change with age but she believed that she can recognised him because they are 'bonded
by heart and blood'. Thus she continue her journey of love and hope and she vowed not to return until her son is reunited with her again.

:sad: a mother's love knows no bounds

so sad.... :sad:

Hi Mummies


After reading all the reports, especially the ones from HKG, I am very worry because dh and I are bringing my two dds to HKG disneyland end of May.

Even though dh and I will give 101% attention to our DDs, I’m thinking of getting the child locators ‘Mommy I’m Here’ from Amazon for the peace of my mind for the trip.

Any mummies here have any reviews on this child locator? Or other brand of child locator to recommend me, pls?

Thank you.

About hongkong, we went hongkong for hoilday few years back. I personally feel the HONGKONG custom officer is VERY ON. When we are at the custom, both going into Hongkong and back to Singapore. When they are chopping the passport of my kids, they asked my kids. \"Who is she?\" I am standing beside them. When they answered \"MOMMY\" they chop and let them go.

Yes, I encountered this last year at HK customs too. They first asked my dd for her name, and then asked who I am. Only after answering then we can proceed.

Seems like these abductors are only interested in easy targets - those kids around toddler to preschooler age. Does it mean older kids like P1 students onwards should be quite safe from such abductions? :idea:

Read up the reviews in Amazon where people have tried the items? Seems like most products no 100% working in locating kids if missing...
I am thinking of getting one, but cannot be dependable :?

I only have 2 kids - so when we are overseas, DH and I will take care of 1 each and we will constantly remind each other '1 stay with you, 2 follow me' type of thing. At least we will not get mixed up and imagine that the kid is with the other party when he may be lost already.

I educated my 3 kids yesterday on such abduction and also what will potentially happen to them.


For my p1, I told her that if someone were to address her by her name and said that mummy asked me to bring you, etc… but she is a stranger, don’t follow. Knowing her name doesn’t mean that the person really knows her. Maybe the person overheard her name or see the name tag, etc…

I recalled when I was in primary school and was playing alone in the playground, this man approached me. I actually thought he was my parents’ friend. He saw my pendant and asked about it. Fortunately, my mum came along. I told her that I saw her friend and he spoke to me. She went round searching, this man was sitting at the void deck. It appeared that she didn’t know that man. Scary to think back… was he trying to rob me? or??? you never know huh. So I think it’s good to educate the kids not to speak to strangers or assume they are the parents’ friends. Good and bad huh…
