How did the boy go missing?
A boy named Parinav, a sixth-class student, went missing from Bengaluru on January 21. He's 12 years old and goes to Deens Academy in Gunjur. He had gone to Allen Coaching Institute in Whitefield, and then he disappeared.
According to reports, he had got in trouble for copying in class, and his parents were called. But he left before they arrived, boarding a bus at around 3:00 p.m.
He went to three cities: Mysuru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. He had ₹100 with him and sold some Parker pens for ₹100 each to get money for his trip. There's a CCTV video showing him trying to sell pens to people.
His parents got worried and asked for help on social media and from the police. They shared videos of him walking on a road. He managed to escape the cops trying to track him for three days. By the time they reached the place where he was spotted, Parinav had already left.
How was he traced?

Social media helped find him. His family was worried, and they shared his pictures online. They wanted to know where he was. His mom also posted a video asking him to come home.
A lady named Vandana was in Hyderabad for work. She saw Parinav at the Nampally metro station and thought he looked like the missing boy on social media. The police found him there and brought him back to his parents, who were very happy to be reunited with their child.
What do we learn from this article?
We should never be afraid of sharing our mistakes with our parents. We must accept and learn from our mistakes. Most importantly, we should not go anywhere without informing our parents, or something terrible may happen. We should realise that our parents would be very worried and sad if they can’t find us. Therefore, we need to act more thoughtfully and responsibly.
