Temporarily separated - Six-year-old forgotten at rest stop near Radeburg
In the Meißen district, a boy was forgotten by his father at a motorway-rest stop. According to the police, a crying boy was found at the Finkenberg Ost rest stop on the A13 on a Tuesday afternoon.
The father had driven off after a pause in his journey towards Berlin without noticing his six-year-old son was missing. When the man arrived to take him back into his arms, the boy had been calmed down by the police with a Teddy bear. The two then continued their journey together.
The rest area at Finkenberg Ost on the A13 in Meißen district is an automated facility, providing essential amenities for travelers. The father's automatic license plate recognition system could have potentially alerted authorities about his absence, allowing for a swifter reunification. Despite the incident, the family decided to take a detour to thank the local police in Meißen for their kindness and swift action.
