Surrey - search is on after kid seen being 'taken' by a van
Discussion
Doesn't sound great, this one.

Left his bike, gone off in fairly distinctive slightly trashed black van.
Hoping for a good outcome, aware the odds aren't great.

Seems very odd so far. Aparently boy hasn't been reported missing, just some people saw the boy getting into the van? Apologies if I've got it wrong.
No, think you're exactly right. But unfortunately that nobody's thought to/is in a state to report him missing, is not positive proof that he's safe and OK, and IF this is a hostile abduction, or parent absconding with child subject to care order etc, these first few hours will very much be the critical ones - especially if it's actually someone who is an immediate danger to the kid. They can't gamble on it being uncle Fred picking him up as usual, when they don't know who it is, van in what sounds like rough state too (missing window did I see somewhere?) and so on. Hopefully by tomorrow morning there'll be confirmation that it WAS uncle Fred, everything's fine, big anticlimax all round.
Love the van description.
...had three alloy wheels, with one front nearside missing.
He shouldn't get far then.
More serious, the kid's mountain bike (Giant Frantic) the chain is off the chainwheel. Perhaps he was dragged off?
If kid was picked up because chain was off, why not take the bike?
Hope he's found quick.

I interpreted the no back windows as solid back doors rather than broken screen. Hope its all a misunderstanding and kids safe and well.Hopefully by tomorrow morning there'll be confirmation that it WAS uncle Fred, everything's fine, big anticlimax all round.

Now the BBC site says the driver of the pictured van has been traced and eliminated from the enquiries - gets stranger
I don't like to throw around accusations of anything before facts are known - but child is bundled into Stolen van. It's not good - at all Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
