Many questions in the case of the missing 2-year-old boy in Hoang Mai town

As reported by Nghe An Newspaper, at about 8:25 a.m. on December 2, Doan Phuc An, residing in block 12, Quynh Xuan ward,Hoang Mai townwas found in the mountains about 300m from home, after 3 days missing.

According to the people who found the child, the area where An was found was a shallow ravine, the junction between the acacia hill and the people’s garden land. This is also the area that the people as well as the police force had searched many times before but could not find him.

Finding baby An was a very lucky thing for his family and relatives. However, the suspicions after discovering the baby require the authorities to get involved and clarify.

Accordingly, at the time of disappearance, An was wearing pants. But when found, he was no longer wearing pants and had scratches on his legs. During the time he was missing, it rained continuously, but when he was found, his clothes were dry. Not to mention, at the location where he was found, people had previously searched many times, and the police even brought in sniffer dogs, but they could not find him. That is why the public in the area has raised many questions.

The discovery of the child after 3 days of being missing in cold and rainy weather conditions raises many questions. This is an issue that needs to be investigated and clarified by the authorities. Because if found in a cave or an abandoned house, there is a chance of hiding and water to drink, there is still a chance of survival. But the reality here is that a 2-year-old child was found after 3 days of being missing on a hill, in cold and rainy conditions, which is unlikely to happen, with those conditions it is difficult to survive. Not to mention, at the time of finding, Phuc An's hair and clothes were dry.

Regarding this issue, a representative of Hoang Mai Town Police said: Immediately after receiving the family's report, Hoang Mai Town Police sent a notice to Department C01, C02 (Ministry of Public Security); Police of provinces and centrally-run cities; PC01, PC02 Department of Nghe An Provincial Police; Police of districts, cities and towns in Nghe An province; Police of communes and wards in Hoang Mai town... to coordinate in supporting the search.

Hoang Mai Town Police said that finding a healthy baby on the morning of December 2 was a very good thing. Currently, the unit is still continuing to investigate to clarify the reason why the baby mysteriously disappeared for the past 3 days and was suddenly found on the mountain near his home. However, there is still no comment on the cause of the disappearance, so it is requested that people do not provide information or comment on unfounded content that causes public confusion.

Before that, at around 2:30 p.m. on November 29, Mr. Doan Van Luc and Ms. Le Thi Huyen (the child's parents) were busy working so they left their child with their grandmother at home. At the time, seeing her 7-year-old brother go out to play in front of the gate, An followed him. A while later, not seeing An anywhere, the grandmother asked her brother and knew that the child had gone out to the gate so she ran out to look for him. After searching everywhere but not finding An, she informed the child's parents to come and look for him.

In the evening of the same day, Mr. Luc and Ms. Huyen's family reported the incident to Quynh Xuan Ward Police. Immediately after that, Hoang Mai Town Police also coordinated with the Mobile Police Department, Nghe An Provincial Police to use sniffer dogs to search and extract cameras in the surrounding area, but still could not find the image of the child.

During the next 3 days, hundreds of local people came to support the family in the search, but information about Phuc An was still "missing". On the morning of December 2, the child was found at the above location.
