10-Year-Old Goes Missing After Argument, Tells Police: ‘What About My Homework?’
A 10-year-old runs away after an argument but worries about his homework first. See how the police found him swiftly — and how smart kids prioritize!
A Runaway Kid with Homework on His Mind 🤯📚
Imagine storming out of the house after an argument, ready for freedom, but clutching your homework as if it’s the ultimate lifeline. That’s exactly what 10-year-old Xiao Wu did — leaving his smartwatch behind but taking his homework books and stationery bag. Honestly, if I ran away as a kid, I might pack candy instead 🍭, but this boy had priorities!
The folks at Heshan Police Station got a call that evening, and what followed was a whirlwind search. Parents were frantic, the police were on high alert, and everyone was wondering: where’s this boy who apparently cared so much about his assignments that he didn’t want to miss a single page?
How Do You Lose a Kid with Two Homework Books?
The boy was last seen near a vegetable market — a spot bustling with people, which usually makes finding a lost child harder but also offers many witnesses. The twist? Xiao Wu forgot his smartwatch, so GPS locating was a no-go. I mean, come on kid, priorities again! 📵
Officer Zhang Zheng (张征) and his team worked fast, turning parents’ stress into strategic clues. The breakthrough? Knowing the kid carried two homework books gave the police a quirky but clever way to describe him: "A boy with two homework books!" Who else would-be wandering streets like that after dark?
Found Sitting Calmly, Homework in Hand 📖😅
Within half an hour, teams combed the area, and patrol officer Lin Ziqin (林志钦) spotted Xiao Wu sitting on a stone pier, slippers on, clutching his precious homework like a trophy. The kid’s first words to the officer? "Officer... what should I do if I can't finish my homework?" That innocent, worried question melted everyone’s heart faster than any drama could. If only adult worries were that refreshingly simple!
Reunited with his relieved parents soon after, Xiao Wu’s story quickly became a local sensation. Days later, his mother presented the police with a banner praising their “Swift and Warm-Hearted” efforts — because let’s be honest, finding a kid looking out for his homework is both heroic and hilarious!
Why This Story Tickles Us All
This incident is a perfect reminder that kids see the world differently. While adults stress about safety and consequences, kids fret over homework deadlines, even in the middle of an emotional meltdown. It’s heartwarming and amusing — proving that sometimes, laughter is the best remedy amid serious situations.
Plus, it’s a testament to how sharp and responsive local authorities can be when a community is in need. And for Xiao Wu? Next time, maybe pack the smartwatch too — just in case! 😉
