ABOVE: Cameron with mum Diane

A BRIT holidaymaker claims child-snatchers tried to grab her son in a copy of the Madeleine McCann abduction. 

Diane Charlton said two intruders were discovered inside his hotel room and half-naked Cameron, 12, was standing in the hallway. 

 The man and woman had dismantled the door lock to get in. Five years ago, three-year-old Madeleine was taken from a bedroom she was sharing with her brother and sister on holiday in Portugal.

 Mum-of-three Diane, 47, was enjoying a seven-day break with her family last week at the Gumbet resort near Bodrum, Turkey. 

 Cameron was sharing a room with his grandmother, who was awoken at about 1.30am. 

 Diane said: “She saw a woman in the room and realised Cameron wasn’t in his bed. He’d been forced out and was stood outside the door of the room in his boxer shorts. When we woke up and saw what was happening, they must have just run off.” 

Diane, from Downhill, Sunderland, said her son was so traumatised he was taken to hospital the next day. 

 She added: “The doctors said it was dehydration but we think it was delayed shock. 

“He said he heard a man’s voice in the room. We just wanted to get back home.” 

Hotel bosses tried to convince her the woman intruder could have been a maid. 

 Diane, her husband David, 47, and mum Verna, 67, have reported the attack to Turkish officials since returning home. 

 Diane said: “We have no idea why they targeted Cameron. He’s 12 but looks a lot younger.’’ 

Tour operator Thomas Cook said they were “very concerned”. 

Turkish police say they are investigating the incident.
