After a massive explosion destroyed a house in South London this morning, a mother sobbed in the street for her son (Monday, August 8). The boy’s bedroom was directly across the street from a house on Galpin’s Road in Thornton Heath that was “completely wiped out” by the blast. The search for a missing child continues

The boy was rescued, according to a 25-year-old female resident, and she believes he is “OK but injured.” She stated: “His mother was crying out on the street, ‘My boy, my boy.’ They took him to the hospital, and we’ve heard that he’s fine since.”
