This four-month-old toddler is feared kidnapped after his mum, also pictured, fainted from low blood pressure and woke up to find her son’s pushchair empty and the tot nowhere to be found.

Police in the city of Zhoukou in China’s central Henan Province are offering a reward of over 50,000 RMB (5,660 GBP) for any clues regarding the whereabouts of the boy, who is four months and 26 days old.

CCTV images from Wenchang Avenue in the city’s Chuanhui District captured the last time the mum saw her son while pushing his pram near Zhoukou Park between 10:30 and 11:30am on 16th May.

The parent, who police say suffers from chronic hypotension – or abnormally low blood pressure – and who has a history of randomly fainting, passed out near the park and woke up presumably minutes later to find her boy nowhere to be seen.

In a statement released to the media, Zhoukou police warned the suspect to “realise their wrongdoing” and urged them to turn themselves in exchange for leniency.

Investigations are still ongoing, and it is understood the reward has yet to be claimed.
