Toddler Vanishes After Mom Leaves Him Alone in Car to Walk to Gas Station

Two-year old Sky Metalwala has vanished from his mother’s car yesterday after his mom went looking for gas in Bellevue, Washington.

His mother reportedly left Sky in her unlocked car and took her other four-year-old child with her to walk to the nearest gas station, which was a mile away. She returned an hour later at 9:50a.m. to find Sky gone.

Police and search dogs have searched a wooded area near the incident while search and rescue teams searched for Sky until it 6p.m.

Bellevue Police Department spokesman Officer Carla Lafrate told the Seattle Times: “King County felt like they had done a very thorough search of a pretty wide area for the boy and were confident that he wasn’t there.”

Sky’s mother said a friend picked her up as she was walking back from the gas station and drove her back to her car.

“We don’t know much, other than the child is still missing,” Lafrate said. “I don’t know if the child got out on his own.”

The case is being treated as a missing child case.
