A dedicated Facebook page has been set up to find 12-year-old Nayati Shamelin Moodliar, who is still missing after being abducted early Friday morning.

Multi-lingual posters and flyers of Nayati were also distributed yesterday to help locate the boy.

Nayati, who is Dutch, was walking to his Mont' Kiara International School (MKIS) near his home in Kuala Lumpur when he was seized by two men in a black car at 7.35am.

News of Nayati's disappearance has also been picked up by the international media including in Britain, South Africa and the Netherlands.

His parents, Sham and Janice, who were originally from South Africa are also Dutch citizens. Nayati is of Indian and Caucasian parentage.

The social media has also been abuzz over Nayati's disappearance. Several Twitter hashtags were actively trending yesterday including #FindNayatiMoodliar; #prayfornayati and #Nayati.

His school friends have also continued to post pleas over YouTube.

One of his older schoolmates said: "He is just a little kid. It is heartbreaking. He does not deserve this. Help bring him back."

Telcos also joined in efforts to locate the boy by sending out SMSes providing contact details.

Nayati's distraught parents have appealed for the safe return of their only son and have assured that they would not take action against his abductors.

"Please return our son. We do not want any trouble. It is not too late to let him go. We won't press charges. Please give us our son back," Sham said in his heart-wrenching plea.

The boy's abduction has also caught the attention of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak who instructed Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar to look into the case.
