A 15-year-old boy had a stomach ache and ran out of his family’s car, rushing to a toilet without his family knowing, and his clueless aunt then drove off without him and left him stranded at a petrol station.
The incident happened in Malaysia and the traffic police said in a Facebook post on 25 April that the stranded teenager was found by two police officers who were on patrol at the time.
He was found at a PETRONAS petrol station in Tapah, Perak, at the Rest and Service Area (R&R).
The two police officers, INSP Muhamad Hafizd and L/KPL Firzad Shamir then tried to help the stranded boy find his family, eventually managing to succeed in finding the boy’s father.
He was then handed over safely to his father at the Tapah toll plaza, with the police officers taking photos of the boy reentering his family’s car and posing for the camera inside the car, as well as a family group photo.
The boy’s father commented on the traffic police’s Facebook post and thanked the police officers for helping him find his son.
He explained that the whole thing happened when his son, who was inside his aunt’s car at the time, had a stomach ache and couldn’t bear the pain anymore while waiting for him (the father) to finish buying drinks.
He then got out of the car without the aunt knowing and ran to a nearby toilet to relieve himself, and the aunt didn’t notice that the boy had gotten out of the car, and driven off without him, leaving the boy stranded before the family later realised that he was missing.
But thankfully the stranded boy was found by the police officers who helped him to track down his family and successfully reunited the boy and his family in the end.
