Baby boy missing on the island of Madeira found safe and well.

[Carana]

This would suggest that he had not been outside since his disappearance, but had been placed there shortly before he was discovered.

(Sorry, I can't get Google to translate for some reason.)
One article interviewed some forest rangers who'd been in the area looking for him and reckon he'd been placed there after they'd passed, but they don't say which day they'd passed. If the little one had fallen asleep, they could have missed him.

But, according to this article, he's being kept in hospital for a bit longer as he has muscle pains which the doctor reckons is due to exposure to the cold.

January 23, 2014
A child of 18 months who had been missing for three days in Calheta, Madeira Island , will remain hospitalized at the Hospital of Funchal , because the analyzes carried out revealed " muscle pain," said the responsibility for the Regional Health Service

" The child will not have high today because there have been analytical changes that reveal some degree of muscle pain which we presume to be related to exposure to cold ," said Miguel Ferreira Lusa .

The doctor said that the boy " will be interned in Pediatrics at least until tomorrow [ Friday ] , because this needs to be reviewed and monitored ."

On Friday the analyzes again be repeated and if the situation " has evolved favorably , then you may have high " , yet that day or Saturday, he added .

The child disappeared on Sunday when it was a family gathering at his uncle's house , the site of the Kings Over in the upper part of the municipality of Calheta.

The child was found three days later , on the morning of Wednesday, by a levadeiro ( professional responsible for the distribution of irrigation water in Madeira) between 07:00 and 08:00 , one taken near the house where it disappeared .

The baby was transported to the Hospital of Funchal , after being seen in the health center of Calheta , with the medical team informed that he was " clinically well " .

" On the arrival [ in emergencies ] , the child was conscious, lucid , slightly cold , but had no visible lesions of mistreatment ," then told José Luis Nunes , director of paediatrics and Neonatology Hospital in Conference media .

Pediatricians found , on occasion , " puzzling " that the child has survived alone for so exposed to cold weather .

However , the coordinator of the Judicial Police in Madeira , Eduardo Nunes admitted Lusa that the last steps " could suggest " stand up " before a crime of rape* ."

The official stressed that " remain open all possibilities " , ensuring that " PJ will continue to investigate " until the case is resolved.

PJ admits kidnapping in missing child case for three days
22 | 01 | 2014 15.26H

The coordinator of the Judicial Police in Wood told Lusa that the latest steps taken can lead to think that it was facing a kidnapping in the case of the boy who was missing for three days in Calheta.

"The latest steps, recent events may lead to think that this is a kidnapping," said the investigating officer in the region.

Eduardo Nunes added that "remain open all possibilities. PJ will continue to investigate until it is solved this case."

I suppose that if wandering off is excluded, that only leaves kidnap.

[Luz]

So the parents dropped him off half way up a Levada and hoped he would drown or die from some other means?

Do you ever read what you write?  Or are you just obsessed with parents killing their children?

You are demented?

I reproduced what the  PJ coordinator stated in the news, that they were investigating the close family, friends and neighbours that were with the child when he disappeared.

If you read my posts you'd noticed I said that whoever took the child made sure nothing bad happened to him, according to what the authorities released.

Unlike the McCann, these parents didn't attempt to obstruct the finding of their son. They co-operated with the police and the result was a happy one.

"Made sure nothing bad would happen to him?"  Yards from a water channel?  Suffering from hypothermia and dehydration?  What are you on?

[Carana]

According to the doctor there were no visible signs of having been mistreated.
However, a body temperature of 35C and being kept in hospital for muscle pain presumed to be due to exposure to the cold doesn't sound like whoever dumped him near a canal necessarily had his well-being at heart.

And in 5C, rainy weather.

That happy result seems to be more in spite of the PJ than thanks to them, seeing as they called the search off.

Segundo Luis Néri, depois todas as acções desenvolvidas "tiveram a ver com o que a PJ entendeu, com base no que se estava a passar".

Do you know what criminal investigation is?

It's not putting your nose on the floor like a hog and keep thrusting forward. It implies gathering information, putting up hypothesis, and acting accordingly.

In this case the PJ did that. Acted accordingly and obtained the results they expected.
Could it had gone wrong? Yes it could. There were no garanties that the abductor would keep the child alive, however, the longer he/she kept him the more danger the child would incur. That's why the PJ chose to take the pressure from the abductor to allow him/her to return the child. It worked.

[Eleanor]

You have to laugh.  Convince the abductor that you think the parents are responsible, and then he will give the child back.

Batshit crazy.

I see. Cunning plan. Since when do police forces hunting for a missing, vulnerable child suddenly stop after a day? The fact that they wanted to investigate the parents and other family members is standard practice, but so is continuing to search for a potentially live child.

The investigation didn't stop, the searching apparatus did. And especially the MEDIA was put out of there.
I know that you haven't understood yet that PJ does criminal investigation, the other forces, like GNR and /or PSP are the ones involved in the searches. The fact that GNR stopped being in the terrain didn't mean the criminal investigation didn't continue, even because there was not a 100% assurance that the traced strategy would give the result it did.

And I can see that you understand very little about strategic police work.

I'm sure other police forces around the world would be fascinated to learn more about such missing child strategies...
