Could This Be Ben Needham?

The toddler who went missing in Kos in 1991. Awaiting DNA tests.

No. Unfortunately. Ben had brown eyes.

[ummmm]

I was going to say that the baby picture of Ben looks like he has brown eyes.

According to this, Ben's eyes are blue too.

babies' eyes can change colour anyway; Ben was only one when he vanished.

I am afraid that I don't like where this is going.

2 children were removed from their families in Ireland because off alleged child abduction - Guess what they were their natural children!!

This is basically building a hate culture against the Roma!!

[jno]

agree, fgt. There have been tales for centuries of children being stolen by gypsies, but this finger-pointing over individual missing kids is a bit nasty and has so far proved totally incorrect. The Greeks seem to be going way over the top.

Over the top....unless they find abducted children.

If the police make a mistake, apologise and move on.

They can change blue to brown, usually in first six weeks. Not brown to blue. And would be very unusual in a child that was nearly two. Perhaps the two online photos of him are just deceptive. It looks impossibly different to me.

i hope it is to give his family back their lives ,can't imagine what they have been through .

C4 are reporting that the DNA results are back, and this person is not Ben Needham.

I would really love him to be found. But imagine losing your 2 year old and him coming back as an adult. That would take some adjustment!

Apparently it's not him:
