Appeal to identify boy, two, found on streets

Police are seeking the parents of a two-year-old boy found wandering the streets on his own.

The toddler was found in the Handsworth area of Birmingham at about 9.30pm on Tuesday. A female passer-by took him to the local police station and he is being cared for by foster parents.

Officers from the West Midlands force released photos of the boy in a bid to trace the parents. They believe his name may be Ravon.

A spokesman said: "Police are appealing for the public's help to identify a young boy aged approximately two years old.

"The boy was not injured and it is not clear how long he had been outside or where he had come from."

The child is black and when he was found he was wearing a khaki hooded coat, navy blue tracksuit trousers, a white Lonsdale T-shirt and blue designer trainers.

"We are releasing a photo of the boy to help identify him and his parents or guardians," the police spokesman added.

"He has told officers his name is Ravon or a word similar to this. He is safe and well and currently with foster carers."

Anyone with information is asked to call officers on 0845 113 5000.
