Police turn to kids for help in runaway child case

Two primary school pupils worked as mediators between police and a runaway child in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, on Monday last week.

Local police in Shizishan police station found a child roaming unaccompanied by an adult and took him back to their station. But they could not get a single word from the lost little one. Police recruited two pupils from an adjacent primary school to come and play with the kid, who helped their lost contemporary relax.
