A Strange Kidnapping

The whole country breathed a sigh of relief when we saw the headline in the papers that day: MISSING CHILD FOUND. The story behind the sudden disappear ance of Sunil, a three-year-old, from outside his house made all of us very angry. The parents waited in vain for news from the kidnappers, if the child had indeed been kidnapped.

The police formulated all sorts of theories, but none turned out to be correct. Searches were conducted all over the neighbourhood and everyone was questioned. No one had seen anyone suspicious. The police even searched the little wooded areas nearby, in case the boy had been murdered.

As the days passed without any news of the child,the desperate parents even offered a reward of fiftythousand dollars for anyone who could help to find him.This money is all of their life saving but there was nothing else that could be done. One kind-hearted tycoon offered to double the reward if the child was found.

As usual, there were a few crank calls and false leads which led the police all over the Republic. Finally,after ten days, the police called off the search. Their theory was that the child might have been taken out of the country. Then, when all hope was lost, the police had a real lead, Someone had seen a boy fitting the description of Sunil in the company of a teenage girl.She was having lunch with the child at Newton Food Centre. The police rushed there and saw the child wandering about by himself.

They brought him to hospital immediately and had him thoroughly examined. His anxious parents came to the hospital to claim him. The examinations revealed that the child had been well-fed and cleaned. He was even wearing new clothes. Obviously, he had been well cared for. All he said was that the “Auntie” was very good.The newspapers carried a front-page picture of the happy mother holding her precious one.

As for the kidnapper, the police had no difficuliy Jocating her. A few questions among the patrons and the stallholder revealed that the lady was a regular and probably lived nearby. A few of them stated that she was a bit weird and suspected that she was suffering from mental illness. When the police caught her, finally,she admitted everything. All she said was that she took a sudden liking to the child. When asked why she abandoned him finally, she replied that it was because she had run out of money. The authorities decided to send her for psychiatric treatment.

To the happiness and relief of the parents, the person who saw Sunil and led to his finding refused to accept the reward, saying that the money would be better used for Sunil’s upbringing and education.
