The boy, who is thought to be aged between two and three-years-old, was found in Harlow, Essex, today, August 15, wearing an orange T-shirt. Police were called to Southern Way at around 12.50pm with concerns for the safety of the young boy.

Officers have since moved the boy to safety, but the whereabouts of his parents are currently unknown, reports Essex Live.

A spokesperson for Essex Police said: “We urgently want to locate the parents of a boy who was seen walking alone in Southern Way, Harlow, this afternoon.

“We were called to the scene at 12.50pm.

“The boy is now safe. He is two or three years old and is wearing an orange t-shirt.

“Please call 101 citing inc 626 of August 15.”

There have been no arrests in connection to the incident at this stage.

Anyone with information about this boy, or the whereabouts of his parents, should call police on 101 quoting incident 626 of today’s date, or alternatively visit essex.police.uk to report information online.

People can also submit anonymous information to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555111. Or, people can visit crimestoppers-uk.org.

It comes as a little boy was found wandering the streets in his pyjamas in June.

Officers and a large number of volunteers spent the night searching for the boy.

So many people turned out to help with the search that police eventually asked members of the public to “please return home” at around 2am.

Officers were concerned the numbers involved might scare the child into not returning home.

The youngster was found by around 10am the next morning – nearly 12 hours after going missing.

Police and firefighters had initially knocked on doors and searched a river without success.
