A BRITISH mother whose three-year-old son went missing on a southern Costa Blanca seafront went out drinking and then to bed before reporting his disappearance 14 hours later.
The tot was wearing pyjamas and socks, with no shoes on, when he vanished whilst out walking with his mother along the promenade in Torrevieja (Alicante province) on Wednesday, and had nothing on his person that would allow a stranger to identify him, nor work out how he had got there or where he had come from.
He was found and taken to the police station, where his mother turned up 14 hours later to collect him.
No calls to the police or the 112 emergency hotline were registered, and none of the police stations had received a visit.
