Boy missing for six days found in IKEA
Published: 2014 November 13 13:23:21 (11756 Views)
A 12-year-old boy who ran away after being told off by his mother was found by police six days later in IKEA.
Peng Yijian is said to have survived on free samples handed out by supermarkets while he was 'on the run' in Shanghai.
When police discovered him he was weak with hunger and had to be placed on an intravenous drip in hospital.
His mother Liu said her son had run away before, but never for so long.
Yijian was reported missing last Tuesday and officers spotted him on CCTV wandering around Shanghai South Railway Station.
The next day's footage showed him at a nearby Carrefour outlet.
"We thought there might be other places he likes to visit, so we asked his mother. She gave us eight or nine names, including Caoxi Park, Nanfang Shopping Mall, In Center and IKEA," said Sun Miao, a police officer in Xuhui District.
Officers were dispatched and the boy was spotted by a surveillance camera at the IKEA outlet on Caoxi Road.
After a 40-minute hunt, during which exit doors were blocked, police found Yijian near an escalator on the ground floor.
