The father of an 11-year-old boy who went missing has spoken out after his son was found attempting a 'hiding challenge' he had seen on the Internet.
Family and friends of Kaden Mirza, pictured, from Sheffield, were frantically searching for the schoolboy after he vanished on his way home from school on Tuesday afternoon.
Several people and police appealed through social media and posters were even made and handed out in an attempt to find him.
Kaden was later found the following day and his father Abid Mirza revealed he was attempted a challenge to 'stay in IKEA for overnight and not get caught' after watching a video on YouTube.
Mr Mirza took to his Facebook page to warn parents of this 'hiding craze', which he says is on numerous videos on YouTube and is popular in America.

Abid is now hoping to turn the events on Tuesday and Wednesday into a positive by warning other parents of the increasingly popular craze by speaking out.
He has also been into King Ecgbert School, where his son attends, to speak to staff about the incident and what they can do to make parents and children aware of the risks of these types of challenges. His post added: 'As soon I get any more information I will keep you guys updated. These kids are different at home and something else outside. Please look after your children.
