An eight-month-old baby boy got lost during the chaos that hit the French city of Nice, killing at least 84 people.
Thankfully, he has been tracked down through Facebook today. A friend of his mother's Tiava Banner sent out an appeal on Facebook looking for any information on the whereabouts of the child who was last seen in a blue stroller when the truck sent people fleeing in panic as they watched Bastille Day fireworks.
The Facebook post read:
“We have lost BB 8 months. Nice friends if you’ve seen him if you were there if you have collected please contact me!!!!!”
The post was shared over 22,000 times and it was later updated with:
"Found! Thank you Facebook to all those who have helped us and sent messages of support (I won't answer to all really sorry)!!!!!!!Stop the calls and messages - no interview. (Precision: I'm not the mother of the baby) Other members of the family are hospitalized. No comment more. Thank you. In Prayer for my family and all the families of the victims.
A member of the family contacted by AFP said:
“A young woman found him and took him home with her. She then went online and found the photo of the baby on Facebook. The woman then contacted the baby’s parents"
