Police in Pakistan find missing Sahil Saeed (From Daily Echo)

Surely he is Pakistani (nice people by the way) not British?

Ah, Saeed, fine old British family name. I think I was at Eaton with his father.

who gives a flying albatross

This story, to me, seems mighty suspicious.
Son goes missing, so instead of father staying, he leaves the country because the police are reportedly wanting to speak with him.

I agree hb, this young lad may be grateful that he is not a young girl. Some of them get treated terribly in Pakistan, I've seen 6 year old girls in Karachi in the gutter, crippled - with placards round their necks saying in English 'please donate I need to fly to England for an operation'. The girls are crippled at birth by their parents, they know they can make money out of them that way. Not all infant girls are treated like this by their fathers, some are murdered instead. Saeed has been very lucky.

No - he's British. Has a passport and citizenship - does that not meet your definition of British?

Well actualy, you're right, there is much more to being British than a passport. However to claim a 6 year old must be a Pakistani, presumably only because of his name and ethnicity, is quite offensive don't you think?

if you read this story you would know the police in pakistani wanted him to stay so he can be a witness, but if you had listen to the news on bbc you would know he return to back to the uk so he could work with scotland yard over the matter.

Next time England play Pakistan in a test match in this country which flag would his family wave, a union flag or the green one?
He was visiting his family in Pakistan wasn't he?
I am pleased he is ok that is the important thing.

engvpak do not come into it that is sport any ay you find if you go to other countrys you find the same thing happening there to.
relatives yes but what sort and on what side was it his mums inlaws or cousins or uncles anuts grandparents or greats maybe second, or was it on his dad side ect ect ect ect

I was born on Japan and now live in Dubai, that does not make me Japanese nor does it make me Arabic. I have British heritage, my family are british and I look and sound British so that makes me British, holding a passport or having citizenship to a particular country does not mean that is where you originate from. People should be proud of where they are from and if not they should just accept it.

Very happy he was found safe but something doesnt add up. No doubt a family member will be arrested in connection with this soon enough.

If a dog is born in stable it doesnt make it a horse does it.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let's just be pleased that a 6 year old boy has been found safe and well, regardless of nationality, creed, colour or whatever cricket he and his family support, he is a 6 year old child.

Let's just remember the last time a child from Britain went missing abroad and be thankful he has been been found.

Remember Maddie and let's hope for her safe return home.

I find it vert disappointing that racist undertones emerge following what should be a "good news story" in relation to a 5 year old boy. Individuals like (not very)Brite Spark continue to do more harm than good in our society with their inability to see the Human Being before seeing race,creed or colour.

no it just means that your parents registered your birth with the british embassy in japan, has a british citizen born overseas, and not with the japanese registry of births. take a look at your birth certificate.
if your parents takes out a citizenship to a country and then give birth that child is automatically is off that country he/she was born in.

NEWS FLASH !!

Southy has now added genealogy to long list of areas of expertise :o))))

I'm glad you cleared that up Southy!

I am British, living in Canada, one of my sons was born in UK (we left when he was 6 weeks old) which makes him British, my other son was born in Canada which make him Canadian, however he can claim joint citizenship and hold a British passport as his father is British,
my son's children can also claim British citizenship as their father is British. Let's not quibble about this, a six year is safe no matter his heritage.

His Mother is over the moon that he's been found......... she wont have to cover his shift in the shop this weekend.

Seriously though, its good news he has been found.

Good news is that six year old child has been found.
What can anybody say about people who even in 2010 can’t understand that all of us are members of human race, to which every child belongs?
It is sad that the subject has been hijacked by some for their own obnoxious agenda. Even the gentlemanly game of cricket has been dragged into the mud by introducing Norman Tebbit’s cricket test into discussion.
Personally I will never pass that test even to save my life, because I am not a cricket fan, and if ever I take interest in it, I support Australia, and if it is Rugby I support New Zealand, the countries I have never even visited. Oh yes I do support Red Bull Racing in F1 they may be funded by foreign capital and have German and Australian drivers but they are based in England.
Let us hope this poor kid will get over the terrible experience he has suffered, and hope he does not log on to this site to read some awful bigotry that has been posted.

I agree, even looking at the boys mother on tv, had that been my son I wouldn't have been able to talk, I would have been hysterical. It smacks of selling their story to any sunday paper stupid enough to buy it. I can see the headlines now...... "We thought we would never see our son again" The next headline will be "Boy tells he was with his dads family all the time. Time will tell.

Seriously I wasnt aware of Mr Tebbit's cricket theory, sounds like a fair test of national allegiance to me.

the father was ask to come back by scotland yard to work with them just in case it was fundamentalist muslims involved.
we now know that only £10,000 was paid out in ransom money and there has been 5 arrests all ready. muslims in spain are also involved.
