    Absolutely beyond belief !

    A copy of this did the rounds at our place after being forwarded in from our German parent company, and then did the rounds. We just got a reply today from someone it had been sent to who said that they had recognised him. Their cousin in Koln passed information back that he was reunited with his hospitalised father a couple of days ago, sadly his mother had died.

    Seems the age of information is now.

    I also got a reply to the email saying that he had been reunited with his father and brother...

    tbh I dont believe it, since when was it a hospitals responcibility to send emails out, plus in the hundred thousand odd dead people, they find 1 kid and send out 1 email, hardly believable tbh, hence I didnt fwd it on...

    Didn't get the e-mail but i have to agree with you there.
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    I'd say it was prolly a hoax or some sort, the original email came directly from the hospital apparently, ho hum, if ppl say that the kids been reunited with his dad then thats fine but I dont believe it tbh....

    I got it at work and thought the same tbh... tho I did feel a bit mean not forwarding it I figured that if it was a real case there probably wasnt much point. If the picture has been forwarded this far then its readily available and anyone looking for him would have been able to find out about him really easily.

    Its heartbreaking to think of all those kids that are now orphans or are separated from their parents tho....
    If you're not living on the edge, you take up too much room
