A mum has spoken about the brief but traumatic disappearance of her son on Christmas Eve.
Naomi, mum-of-three, needed to get a few last minute stocking fillers in the city centre. She took her children, 11-year-old Beth, 8-year-old Hannah Rose and 5-year-old Jack, along with her husband Ian, for the day out shopping.
She explained on the Ryan Tubridy Show on RTE that the family eventually split into two factions, with Ian bringing Hannah Rose and Jack to Eason’s on Nassau Street. However, a parent’s worst nightmare transpired after Ian, who had been searching for a packet of sweets in store, turned around to realise that Jack had disappeared from view.
