Kidnapped child returns to school

BOJONEGORO, East Java: Nurhadi, the 12-year-old boy who recently escaped abduction, has returned to school. Nurhadi said he was kidnapped on March 7 by a man who forced him to beg for over a month in many cities.

Antara reported that his teacher, Sri Ismini, said Nurhadi was allowed to resume his education despite the many days of absence because the child did not leave school intentionally.

"It's a tragedy," Sri said. (01)
