That's all it says for now, with more to follow later. Really glad he's been found and hope he is OK.

He was kidnapped by robbers as they burgled his family's home and assaulted some of them - including his baby sister - and then was held at ransom. Meh, ignorance is bliss.

Great news! Must have been such a bad time for his parents.

or its because it wasn't even in the news over here. thats how important it is.

[Catzsy]

I do think this is a great outcome - it must have been a terrible ordeal for him and his family.

[Smits]

There was even talk of it being an inside job...

At least he's safe.

Yes I heard that too .... something about the Father. Lets hope it is not true.

[Smits]

I doubt it it. I think it came about ebcause the father came back to England.

Well I read the Pakistani Police wanted to question him about his return to England. :S

[ChickenFaces]

Glad he's okay ;D

That's because you live in Australia. When a young British boy gets kidnapped in a foreign country with said country regularly causing controversy, verging on diplomatic clashes, it tends to make news in this country. It's nothing to do with Australia, so they are unlikely to report on it. If you are going to visit a forum with a high proportion of British members, then expect to see British news posted.

Its great he is found, hopefully they will have him reunited with his family asap!

calm down buddy, we hear international news all the time. Like americans being kidnapped, maddie mccain or whatever her name was being stolen.. Even recently, how a german boy was brought to a brothel

Even recently, how a german boy was brought to a brothelClearly you don't hear all news as this has been dominating headlines for the past week in the UK, it's made frontpage news on many occasions.

I'm not blaming you for not knowing, it probably didn't make it to Australia but this is big news in the UK, and it is also rare for a young British child to be kidnapped abroad.

Thats probably because shes been missing for over a year / 2 years.

Maddy Mccan was abducted from her room whilst on holiday in Portugal :S

[Seatherny]

He returned to England as he was instructed to do so by the kidnappers. He was then instructed to travel to Paris to pay off the kidnappers.

[HotelUser]

I hope they have leads on who was behind the kidnapping.

I know the general gist of the story about her. I was just saying that we hear about international news, there really isn't that much news happening in Australia so we get international stuff. And this story didn't make it over here.

[Catzsy]

Yes it sounds like a well managed operation with all the arrests. Saw the boy back in England on the news this morning.
A good ending for what could have been tragic.

Exactly. The point is no, he didn't 'just take a wrong turn somewhere'.

Anyway I'm glad he's seemingly safe but it's a bit odd how it all seems so secretive...
