Baby boy missing on the island of Madeira found safe and well.

I'm sure other police forces around the world would be fascinated to learn more about such missing child strategies...

Then usefully inform them !

[AnneGuedes]

Maybe he needed to find himself a spokesperson >@@(*&)

Nah. I'll leave the honour to Luz.

Is that too much work for you ?

I suppose that if wandering off is excluded, that only leaves kidnap.

I'm in two minds at the moment as to whether he could have wandered off and got lost or not. According to one of the articles I've posted, he was found 20m from a footpath leading towards the uncle's house. What would seem odd is that no one seems to have heard him yelling for his mum in what seems to be a rural area. But if he'd gone running off after a puppy or something, he might have been quite far before anyone noticed he was missing.

Against that is the - so far - wildly varying reports of how far away he was actually found. I've read 1km/2km/3km. If he was only 1 km away, I suppose it's feasible, 3km would seem hugely unlikely. There's also the question of whether or not the little tot could have survived all that time in cold, rainy weather. There's also the fact that the forest rangers apparently checked the area at some point, but if he'd fallen asleep and wasn't visible, they could easily have missed him, particularly if they didn't have much experience in looking for missing toddlers.

I really can't see myself explaining to Interpol that the best strategy to find a potentially living child in cold, rainy weather is to call off the search less than a day later, while they interrogate the parents, tell the newspapers that they suspect the parents/family in the hope that a potential abductor will dump the child who will hopefully be screaming its head off when a couple of levadeiros happen to be walking by.

I expect that Luz could explain that cunning strategy far better than I could.

Could I ask why Luz hasn't been laughed off The Forum?

The PJ left that child to freeze or drown, in the hope that they might catch his abductor, while setting up a case against his parents.?
This is such a disgrace that beggars belief.
And God help his parents  if he had been found dead.  Luz would have had them nailed to the wall.

You guys have had so much advice for the world's police forces since 2007 by now you could have compiled a ground breaking, internationally recognised training manual

You mean that The PJ need that much help?  Oh Dear.  Okay.  Let's start with the fact that the parents aren't always culpable.  Never could it have been so proven without this last debacle.
God is good.  And so is Karma.  Tick bleeding Tock.

The PJ may well be cash-strapped, but there are quite a few resources online (even for the general public). What is the purpose of regional international police conferences if not to share best practice, lessons learned and future orientations?

A PSP officer is in hot water for posing for photographs with ‘missing’ Madeira baby Daniel Abreu moments after the little boy was found. The policeman then apparently tried to sell the shots to the media. The photos showed him smiling into the camera in full uniform holding a confused Daniel in his arms. The PSP’s regional command has now opened an investigation into the unorthodox behaviour. Diário de Notícias claims it could constitute a “serious disciplinary infraction” as it “exposed the minor to illicit photography”. The paper went on to say that the officer, who works locally in Calheta, vowed that the money he made would all be going to the family. The photos eventually appeared in the Tribuna de Madeira weekly newspaper, under the headline: “A happy ending enveloped in mystery”, and mystery indeed remains the order of the day. Daniel has finally been released from hospital where he had been undergoing tests, and newspapers now say the Madeira government will be offering the little boy’s hard-up family €15,000 to repair their home. It’s a promise that has been met with incredulity from Daniel’s grandfather who told Correio da Manhã that people had known of their problems “for years” and never offered help of any kind. “We will just hope it isn’t another promise that nobody keeps,” said Agostinho Abreu. Meantime, Polícia Judiciária detectives have reportedly “identified” the person suspected of having snatched Daniel from his family, but as yet no further details have been released. Daniel Abreu, 18 months old, was reported missing by his family on January 19. He was found three days later near an irrigation canal, a couple of kilometres from where he disappeared.
