Heartbreaking. This picture was sent to me by a friend in Tasmania.

Please send this to all the people in your network.

Looking for his family.

The boy is about 2 years old & is missing his entire family . Nobody
knows what country he comes from - quite possibly Australia. If you
know him please contact us by phone 076-249400-4 ext. 1336, 1339 or e-
mail : info@phuket-inter-hospital.co.th

I hope whatever family he has left finds him soon.

The 'Do you know this boy' email and picture, although quite genuine, has now become something of a 'spam' mail as it has grown exponentially with many thousands of people forwarding it to everyone they know. There is another email now circulating requesting people not to pass on the original mail. The boy was identified and located several days ago, and various web-sites have details, for example http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/children/hannes.asp

Ah, I`m glad he has been identified and found then.
I thought I had seen the lads face somewhere, I recall him from news reports that he had been reunited with his dad.
