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

[Cariad]

The big question is have they spoken to the father.

"Supt McAinsh confirmed that police had spoken to Mikaeel's father and his family were being very helpful."

The best case scenario is that the father or another family member has him.

Someone cared enough to dress him.

But none of the newspapers seem to care enough to stick a large picture of him on the front page

If he was taken by his family he would be in a car south to England immediately.  An hour and you would be over the border, no checkpoints or sod all.  If this is what happened he will be sheltered by the Asian communities and might never surface again in the UK.

Just what I was thinking last night, if it was his father.  It would have been well planned.  So I expect that has occurred to The Police.

But I doubt that The Police are telling The Media everything.

See Fridays  front pages, the Telegraph is the only paper to give the story its main front page, a couple of others had a smaller inset but in the main youre right

Over 24 hours later now with no sign, so it's really not looking good. Plenty of CCTV around and I would hope that will give them something to work with. Fingers crossed. The police response has been huge, immediate, and entirely professional, and the public have been a great help too. Anything that can be done is being done which is something. I suppose if there is still no progress today we might see a public appeal from the family tomorrow.

CCTV has been checked and nothing significant found...yet

The police are being played, all the experts agree that he didn't go out on his own.  The search is a farce basically and that Supt is beginning to look very much out of her depth.  She has consistently and very publicly insisted there was no criminality yet she has no proof of the alternative.  Naivety personified .

It's quite simple isn't it,  the media cares more about girls than boys & whites more than asians.

 Not sure how well lit an area this was, which might affect the effectiveness of cameras, but hopefully they will be of use.

Played by who? What experts? Why is the search a farce?

She said that there was no sign of criminality and they're keeping an open mind.

Seems like a sensible response to me.

The main front door apparently was extremely heavy and hard to open even for an adult ...looks like he didnt just wander out on his own

eta

Whch suggests there was some criminality involved

This happened in the UK. CCTVs are everywhere.. even on the council buildings like this one..

So why they don't look at the CCTVs?

Is it a council building? The mother comes from a rather middle class background, I understand.

Time his mother made a public appeal imo.

If there is more to the story than waking & wandering then that could give the cops a clue.
