Swedish toddler lost in Thailand claimed by uncle

? A 2-year-old boy who was found dazed and alone on a roadside in the wasteland of a tsunami-devastated Thai resort was reunited Tuesday with his uncle, who spotted the child’s picture on the Internet.

The boy, identified by his uncle as Hannes Bergstroem, was found Sunday night on a road in Phang Nga province near the beach resort of Khao Lak, about 60 miles from the island of Phuket. He was taken to Phuket International Hospital where the staff posted pictures of the blond-haired boy with red spots all over his face from mosquito bites on its Web site on Monday.

The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported the boy’s mother and grandmother were missing. His father and grandfather were believed to be in another hospital in Thailand, but their exact location and condition were not immediately known.

A man, who identified himself only as Jim, told the Associated Press on Tuesday in an interview that he found his nephew after he saw his picture on the Web.

“When I saw Hannes on the Internet, I booked an air ticket to come here in less than five hours,” said Jim, who rushed to the Phuket hospital on Tuesday from Chonburi province in Thailand, hours away from Phuket, where he was staying. “This is a miracle, the biggest thing that could happen.”

After the hospital published pictures of the boy, dozens of parents desperate to find missing children turned up, hoping he was theirs.
