The one-year-old boy who was abducted in a downtown mall in Cebu City last Monday is back in his mother’s arms.

The boy was reunited with his mother Diane Simbajon, 21, of Ginatilan town, at the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) yesterday with no indication that he had come to harm.

Two unidentified women left the child at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral past 2 p.m. yesterday.

Who and why the child was taken remains a mystery. Simbajon reported the boy missing on Monday after her older sister mistakenly turned over the child to two women she thought were relatives at E-Mall on N. Bacalso Avenue while Simbajon was buying food.
