Mikaeel Kular > Three-year-old boy missing from a house in Edinburgh.

[CPN]

Out of interest, I have googled the names

Mikaeel "is a Muslim name for boys meaning name of Allah's Angel".   Kular comes under Sikh surnames

What I mean is no three yr old gets up from their bed puts their jacket and shoes on and decides to go out..on their own...a toddler might wander, but one doesnt dress before going out thinking oh it might be cold

ie an older person must be involved

Ah...common sense at last.  Appears someone put his coat and shoes on for a reason.  Someone who must have had access to that apartment somehow.

Also says he normally sleeps with his twin but on this occasion was sleeping in a room alone...

Who wouldn't do something if they saw a small child out alone? I certainly wouldn't just assume that everything was ok. at the very least I'd hang around till the parents came back and if they didn't, I'd call the police and approach the child myself.

I can't imagine anyone assuming that a three year old out alone is fine.

Nobody can.
So, if he's alive, he's not outside, they must have searched all the parks and open spaces.
What purpose could he have ?

[Redblossom]

I do indeed hope so. My objection is to the pessimism expressed such a short time after his disappearance.

A different story. Someone found a little girl wandering around a petrol station. The person thought that this was unusual and checked. She was indeed a missing little one and had been dumped there. Her name is not online for reasons that shouldn't be too difficult to work out.

If the person in question who had noticed her had just assumed that she'd been let out of a family car while someone paid for petrol or had gone for a pee, she might have been dead by the next day.

Assuming parents are around is not pessimism....its normal, but there are many feckless ones around.....no doubt the person who reported it was vigilant enough to make a difference

.and someone who cared not someone set out to harm

.and someone who cared not someone set out to harm

Yes.
Now, if he did this alone, his Mum might have an idea about his purpose.

[Lyall]

I agree.  Maybe mother and father are from different religions?   I read that the father lives separately.   But it is all surmise until more information comes out officially

Brunty said he spoke to the father of the other children, but said he's not sure that man is also Mikaeel's father.

Brunty said he spoke to the father of the other children, but said he's not sure that man is also Mikaeel's father.

Yep, at least 2 different fathers to the 5 kids. That's how I heard it.

[Redblossom]

Yes.
Now, if he did this alone, his Mum might have an idea about his purpose.

Sounds like a dad getting his son back to me.....so far, so good vis a vis safety and not abduction/harm

[jassi]

Was a twin though so why one and not the other?

It sounds a bit like this, yes, but what about the twin ?
Wouldn't a father leave a note ?
Sorry Jassy !
The twin actually is only of the same age.

I wondered the same; but as I said do not really want to surmise on the internet until there is more info

[Angelo222]

Oh my God...had Brunty been flown in.  For Christ's sake don't mention DNA or hire cars!! 

Little Kular will be in Bradford or Birmingham by now with his cousins.

Is the twin a girl?
