SHARJAH // Sharjah Police have urged families not to leave children alone in vehicles after a man found a three-year-old boy in the back seat of his car.
The boy’s mother’s friend accidentally put him in the man’s unlocked car, which was identical to hers, after the three-year-old had fallen asleep at Al Buhaira Corniche.
The owner of the car — an Arab man who was visiting the corniche separately — found the boy after he had returned home and took him to Al Buhaira Police Station.
The mother and friend realised the boy was missing once they decided to leave the corniche.
The boy and his mother were reunited at the police station, where she was filing a missing persons report.
Police urged families to keep watchful eye on their children and not to leave them alone in vehicles, especially if they are old enough to walk.
