The police are looking for a kidnapped three-year-old and her mother.
The incident occurred on Thursday in Białystok, on the Dziesięciny estate. According to witnesses, the girl (Amelia) and her mother (Natalia) were drawn into the car by two men.
The car, which the hijackers moved, was found empty. According to the police, it was borrowed by the child’s father.
The officers are considering two hypotheses – according to the first woman with a child can still be in Bialystok and be kept, according to the second hypothesis, the abductees could be transplanted to another mode of transport and taken away from the city. According to Karczyński, “the key is to determine the whereabouts of the child’s father”.
The announcement was also carried onInternational Amber Alert. The abduction took place before the block of flats at ul. Hallera 47 approx. 10.00.
According to the findings, the perpetrators of the abduction were 2 masked men who pushed Amelia and her mother into the Citroen car, which was later abandoned.
The girl has blue eyes and light hair in a bun. She was wearing a pink jacket, a gray hat with a tassel, gray pants and navy blue shoes.
Karczyński pointed out that in the first place the police interrogated family members to determine what could be the motive of the kidnapping and who could afford it. He stressed that the police must “provide information that is needed to help”. – But also those that will not cause the threat and additional danger of people who have been abducted – he said.
“The most important publication of a child’s photo” Izabela Jezierska-Świergiel from the Itaka Foundation, who is involved in searching for missing persons, said that “Child Alert is a specific tool, used rarely”.
In order to get as much as possible when you start them – she said. In her opinion, too frequent use of this tool could lead to “its trivialisation”. “And people would not react,” she said. – The decision to start up must be well thought out and it takes time – she added.
