The owner of the Facebook page who was allegedly the child’s aunt, one Rosanna Olayvee as shown on her Facebook page, says that the incident happened last October 19, 2015.
Details on how the kidnapping happened and how the child was returned were not mentioned.
Police precinct turned them away
Once the child was recovered, the aunt said that the father allegedly went to the Mangagoy Police Precinct in Bislig, Surigao del sur to file a complaint.
According to the aunt, the father was reportedly turned away and not allowed to file charges because there was no suspect in the case. The police also apparently did not release their names to the family or choose to be identified.
The pictures of the child were posted on Facebook on November 1, more than a week after the supposed incident.
The police have allegedly gone to the victim’s house at an unknown date.
According to Olayvee, the cops have threatened her for releasing photos and talking about the incident.

Family outraged at lack of action
Dissatisfied with how the Mangagoy police handled the matter, Olayvee took to social media to gain attention for her nephew’s plight.
Olayvee has mentioned in her social media posts that the Department of Social Welfare and Development has reportedly also gotten in contact with the family, but she says it is too late.
She also said that the little boy is now doing well and is recovering from the ordeal.
Olayvee has mentioned that someone has asked her to take down the photos of the child. She adamantly refused, saying,
“Gusto ko lang sabihin dito na hindi ko po burahin ang photo na ito dahil sa sinasabi ni Ganito ,Ganeri. Kung gagawin ko yan para na ring sinukuan ko ang pamangkin ko. Ngayon pa malayo na ang narating nang Biktima. Kung kasuhan niyo ako gawin nyo dahil kahit saang agulo tingnan MALI ang ginagawa ng mga police na yan na tanggihan ang nag blotter. Hindi po ako natatakot sa inyo Police ka babae kapa naman.“
As of today, the photos have more than 20,000 likes and over 100,000 shares.
