Princess Louisiana, a 3-year-old girl, was allegedly kidnapped in Las Piñas by an unknown woman.
According to eyewitness reports, they saw the girl crying and trying to escape from an unknown woman who was carrying her.
The 3-year-old was allegedly kidnapped in Las Piñas while going to a store
Daisy Lyn Bumatay, the 3-year-old’s mother, shared that her daughter asked for her permission to go to a nearby store last December 30.
She shared, “Ugali non pag halimbawa galing ako ng trabaho, minsan kumukuha ‘yan ng pera sa wallet ko, bibili.” She added that she asked one of her children to follow Princess, but the child came back to tell her that Princess could not be found.
Around the time that Princess went missing, CCTV footage in the area showed a woman walking along a dark alley, which was near the area where Princess went missing.
At a later time, the footage showed the same unidentified woman carrying a small child.
Daisy Lyn believes that the woman abducted Princess. The child’s slippers were also found in the area where the woman was last seen.
Princess’ brother, Mark Lester Biato shared, “Walang nakakakilala. Pero ‘yung mga tropa ko nakita na nila dala kapatid ko.”
The incident has now been reported to the authorities and they will be conducting an investigation in order to find Princess.
Make sure your children are always safe
Safety is always a top concern for parents. And this is especially true for parents who have very young kids.
That’s why it’s important for moms and dads to make sure they know where their kids are at all times.
Here are some important tips to keep in mind:
- Talk to your children about safety. Make sure to teach your kids how to avoid dangerous situations. Prevention should always be a priority.
- Give your child an ID. Make a small laminated ID that your child can carry around with them. It should contain their full name, address, your contact information and other details.
- Know important numbers to contact. In case of an emergency, you should know the number of the police, the local barangay, or anyone able to help you find your child.
- Let your children know what to do in an emergency. Your children should also know what they can do in case they get kidnapped. Let them know who to go to. Teach them safe places that they can run to in case they get abducted.
- Use GPS tracking devices to ensure your child’s safety. As a last resort, there are GPS tracking bracelets available which you can use to track your child’s whereabouts. Kids can also use these devices to send an emergency message to inform you if they have been kidnapped.
