Hampshire Constabulary has confirmed there is a European arrest warrant out for the parents of a seriously ill boy who is thought to have been taken to Spain.
Hampshire Police Assistance Chief Constable Chris Shead said the warrant was sought in order to give police the power to talk to the parents of five-year-old Ashya King once they are located.
He stressed the warrant should not discourage the parents from coming forward as the priority remained the health and safety of missing Ashya, who has a brain tumour.
Mr Shead confirmed the battery on Ashya's feeding mechanism "will have expired" and directly appealed to the parents not to attempt to deliver the urgent care he needs themselves.
Five-year-old Ashya needs treatment for a brain tumour He said Ashya's care required advanced medical training and facilities without which Ashya will start to dehydrate and his condition will deteriorate.
It is not known whether the King family has any spare batteries for the machine which administers food, the knowledge, or any way of recharging the battery.
Mr Shead reiterated that British police were working closely with Spanish authorities after receiving positive information to suggest the family has strong links to the Marbella area and that they may be travelling there.
Ashya was taken from the hospital by his parents Brett and Naghemeh He said there had been no further sightings of the family since their car was last spotted on Friday prompting police to expand their search into Spain.
He again urged hospitals in Spain and throughout Europe to look for someone matching the little boy's description or symptoms to see if he has been admitted.
Ashya's family took him from Southampton General Hospital, where he was receiving treatment, at around 2pm on Thursday and travelled on a ferry to Cherbourg, France, two hours later.
Interpol has issued a yellow alert in 190 countries The little boy is in a wheelchair and is being fed through a tube. He has undergone "extensive surgery" - with his last operation seven days ago.
Police were told by the hospital that the little boy was missing at 8.35pm that day - more than six hours after he was taken by his parents - Jehovah's Witnesses Brett King, 51, and Naghemeh King, 45.
The family, from Southsea, is travelling in a grey Hyundai I800 Style CRDI registration KP60 HWK.
Interpol has sent out a missing persons alert to its 190 member countries as concerns for the boy's welfare have grown.
Ashya is likely to be in a wheelchair or buggy, cannot communicate verbally and is immobile, a police spokesman said.
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust said Ashya was allowed to leave the ward under his parents' supervision and hospital staff raised the alarm when his absence "became a cause of concern".
Legal experts have said that it is "unlikely" that the Kings had committed an offence by taking Ashya out of hospital.
A post on Hampshire Constabulary's Facebook page said: "This is my mother's friend, she has run away in desperation because they cannot accept that there is nothing that can be done for their son and want to look for help abroad.
"Please don't judge, they are a very sweet loving family and I can only believe they are doing this because they want to help their son."
