(Central News Agency reporter Lu Gang-jun, Hsinchu County, 4th) A 6-year-old boy in Xinpu Township, Hsinchu County, recently left home alone late at night to find his mother who was working outside. He was found wandering on Wenhua Road in Xinpu Township. Police officers promptly discovered him, brought the boy back to the police station for temporary care, and successfully contacted his family, ultimately reuniting the father and son.
Hsinchu County Police Bureau's Xinpu Precinct stated today that the Baozhong Police Station received a public report around 10 PM a few days ago, stating that a young child was walking alone on Wenhua Road. Upon hearing the news, the on-duty officers immediately drove to the scene to provide care and understand the situation.
The police pointed out that when officers arrived, they found the boy wandering alone on the street, looking somewhat uneasy when questioned. After patiently comforting him and verifying his identity, they confirmed he was a boy living nearby.
The boy told the police that because both his parents were out working, he missed his mother too much at home and wanted to go out to find her based on his memory, but he got lost in the dark.
The police stated that considering it was late at night, they decided to first bring the boy back to the police station for temporary care. They also posted a contact note on the front door of his residence and contacted his family through various channels. The boy's father rushed home shortly after, saw the notice on the door, and immediately ran to the police station. He breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his child safe and sound.
