A two-year old boy went missing in Bellevue this morning near the 2400 block of 112th Ave. N.E.

According to police, the boy’s mother ran out of gas near that location, taking another child, age four, with her but leaving the two-year old in the vehicle. She returned an hour later and the boy was gone. 

Sky Metalwala is ½ Native America, ½ Caucasian with brown eyes, dark buzz cut hair and was last seen as he is in the picture, wearing a hooded sweathshirt with striped Carter pants.

Sorry but this doesn't make sense.  Why would you leave a 2yr old by themselves in the car?

Sorry but this doesn't make sense.  Why would you leave a 2yr old by themselves in the car?   

Wouldn't it make more sense for the mom and both children to stay with the car until help came?  Or if she had to leave, why didn't she take both boys?  It doesn't make sense.

BELLEVUE, Wash. - Around 6 p.m., police suspended a search in the area where a 2-year-old boy disappeared Sunday morning, saying they are confident the child is not in the immediate vicinity. But they continue to follow up on other leads.  ::snipping2::

I don't see why she would take 1 child and not the oth. Makes no sense at all. Left a 2 yr old in the car by himself for an hour? Crazy 

[Amys Sister]

Bellevue has a lot of cameras around town and is quite busy.  Would be very surprised if this is not solved fairly quickly.

That said, this is just heartbreaking!!  Sometimes reading these stories I forget to filter and find myself asking why I am here?  So much sadness and cruelty in our world!

Then I look at my husband and my children and I know there is great goodness, also.

God be with this precious little brown baby named Sky.  His smile looks like it would light up a whole room.

she did it b4,her and the father,maybe she just thought nothing could happen
man O man,right when you think youve heard it all

 ::snipping2::
A spokesman for the boy's father said parents are going through a divorce and he hasn't had any contact with the children since January. Police say he is cooperating fully with the investigation.
 
According to court records, both parents were cited in December 2009 for leaving a child unattended.  An attorney tells KING-5 back then the child was left in the car for a shorter period than Sunday's case, but a passerby in the parking lot spotted the child and called police.
 
Court records said among other stipulations, both parents were required to complete parenting courses.
 
Bellevue Police would not comment on whether the parents' background was pertinent to this case, but said they are keeping all scenarios on the table.

FBI joins search for missing toddler
Published November 6, 2011, Updated November 7, 2011

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- Sources tell KOMO News the FBI has joined the search for 2-year-old Sky Metalwala, who vanished after he was left alone in a car in Bellevue on Sunday morning.
The boy's mother told police she ran out of gas in the 2400 block of 112th Avenue NE and left the boy alone inside the unlocked car while she her 4-year-old daughter went to get gas. When she returned an hour later just before 10 a.m., Sky was gone.

Sunday evening, police were tracing back all the places the child had been before the disappearance, including an apartment complex in Redmond.

"He's still missing, we don't know where he is," said Sam Metalwala, the boy's uncle. "They just told us to wait by the phone... we haven't heard anything, they haven't told us anything."
 ::snipping2::Investigators say the boy's car seat was still in the car and there were no signs of forced entry. Police initiated a reverse 911 call in the area to alert residents to the boy, and King County Search and Rescue tracking dogs helped search the nearby wooded area.

But by Sunday evening, officials called off the search in the area where the car was left.

"They feel very confident they've been able to search the surrounding area where the child might have wandered off to," said Officer Carla Iafrate with Bellevue police. "Our detectives with the Bellevue Police Department will be looking through the night, following up on other leads."

What are the chances that a kidnapper/pervert just happened by?  It could have happened but ... it makes sense that any passing motorist intent on wrongdoing would have been interested in the abandoned vehicle.  IMO

Something is hinky.

Teacher DIL has relatives who reside in the Bellevue area.  She will be contacting me during recess/lunch break today anticipating an update.

Bellevue police search for missing 2-year-old boy

The search began after Bellevue police responded at 9:50 a.m. to a call from a woman who said she had run out of gas and left the child, Sky Metalwala, buckled into a car seat while she and her 4-year-old walked about a mile to a Chevron gas station.

There, police said, the mother called a friend. The mother told police the friend picked her up as she was walking back to her 4-door silver Acura, but when they reached the car, the boy was no longer there. The mother told police the car was not locked.

My prayers go out for Sky, may he be found safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leaving a 2 year old in an unlocked car???     Insane!  Her excuse will be that the two of them would have been too much to handle walking to get help.  She felt he would be safe strapped in his car seat.  Why lock the door, when a window could be broken if someone wanted to get in.  Which means the car meant more than her son.   jmoo

Just read it on dailymail UK's website what's interesting, the title says : Boy, two, goes missing after mother leaves him in unlocked car for an hour while she walks a mile for gas (but police find no petrol can at the scene)

This stinks to me big time. I wouldn't leave my 3 and 7 y/o for a minute alone in the car. What is wrong with people? when you think nothing else can shock you you get something like this

Toddler Missing After Washington Mom Left Car Unattended

By CHRISTINA CARON (@cdcaron)
Nov. 7, 2011

The FBI has joined the search for a toddler missing since Sunday morning after his mother said she left him alone for an hour in an unlocked car in Bellevue, Wash.

The mother, whose name has not been released by police, said she was driving with her two children when she had run out of gas on busy 112th Ave. So she and her 4-year-old trekked about a mile to a nearby gas station to Northtowne Chevron Service, leaving 2-year-old Sky Metalwala in the car. When they returned to the 4-door silver Acura an hour later, she said the boy was gone.
 ::snipping2::

King 5 News reported the father hasn't had any contact with his children since January, and court records show "both parents were cited in December 2009 for leaving a child unattended" and subsequently asked to complete parenting classes.

Sorry CW, I see you had already posted this info regarding the parents previous charges....I think I need more caffeine, lol

[cartfly]

I did a little digging and think this may be Mom:

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=800009168&sk=wall

Note: in her photos, there are virtually none of Sky, only the little girl. Also note she list her kids as "Sky Elijah" and "Maile Grace". There is also a flickr photo account that I will post next.



I believe the father is "Solomon Sadruddin Metalwala" and his facebook is:

https://www.facebook.com/metalwala

I came to the above conclusions from court documents and after viewing the
above. I will post the court docs in a moment.
