Dozens of posts with photos of missing Mongolian children have been shared hundreds of times, as social media reacts to them promptly.
Chief of the Media Office of the General Police Department B.Baatarkhuu commented on the social media phenomenon. B.Baatarkhuu said, "All those posts of missing children with photos are found on that day. There is not a single case of a missing child that is not found, or found dead, so far.
"Unfortunately, the phenomenon of frequently posting and sharing information about missing children makes the public concerned that these children are still missing.
"Therefore, we suggest approaching the police before posting photos and posts about missing children to social media networks. The latest case, for instance, a missing child was found in two hours by police officers in Songinokhairkhan district and taken home on September 4th. But the posts and photos of that missing child were shared by 10,000 social media users for 10 days after the child was found."
