Missing boy back with parents

Five-year-old Nattapon Thiptanakarn rushed into the arms of his father, Amnuay, as soon as they met at Pathumwan Police Station. Police located the boy thanks to a tip-off from security guards in front of Siam Centre.
They recognised Natchapon or Mac from photos that appeared in the media.
The kindergartener allegedly disappeared with a teenager, now identified as K or Pang Kongsin, on Sunday. Amnuay and his wife contacted not just police but also the media to look for their beloved child. They lost sight of their son at a department store in Samut Prakan’s Muang district.
On Tuesday, a witness Saowanee Imyuenyong alerted Nattapon’s parents that she had seen their son in the company of Pang at around 11pm on Monday in Charurat Tonsai Community in Bangkok’s Ratchathewi district.
Saowanee said Pang had relatives in the community and often came here with a small boy.
“He’s not always there. His relatives are also getting fed up with him bringing the children of others to play with him,” Saowanee said.
According to her, the children were usually aged between five and 10. Many parents, after locating their kids, had not bothered to take action against Pang because the teenager allegedly suffered from some mental problems.
Many residents of the Charurat Tonsai Community also confirmed that they had seen Nattapon walking with Pang.
They told the parents to wait at their community because Pang would usually return with the boy at around 2am or 3am.
However, after waiting till the wee hours of yesterday, they could not find their son.
At around 3am yesterday, Pathumwan Police Station contacted Amnuay saying his son had been found.
Police from the station picked him up after security guards in front of Siam Centre found the boy sleeping on the footpath there.
