I have a four year-old granddaughter with a similar smile. This is good news.

Wow. As a daddy of 5 and 7yo daughters I cannot imagine those 18 days. Dude should be stoned to death on live TV by parents and anybody they invite.

Beautiful smile!
I don’t know what I would’ve done, if something happened to one of my kids, when they were little or even now. |

One of the links I read said a neighbor saw him bringing diapers into the house and he has no children. Suspect once it all washes out his neighbors will describe him as "He mostly kept to himself". LOL

Wow, 18 days of hell for that family.
I would guess that after 18 days, the odds of this outcome are basically 0.

Buy them, sell them

Local social media trolls put the mother and her partner through a lot of unnecessary grief during all this, all kinds of insane theories being espoused.
Incredible that she survived.

It's like everyone in Australia was collectively holding their breath for 18 days - And I really can't put it into words but I was so relieved when she was found.
They misspelled "Carnarvon" (Carnavron [Sic]) in the story. It's a very remote area of Australia. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Carnarvon+WA+6701/@-24.8817108,113.6520849,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x2be3c132c8ff0047:0x500f6 38247a11c0!8m2!3d-24.8838363!4d113.6570584

^^^ Thanks for that link.
The linked article was a bit slim on details but I imagine there is much more to follow. What a relief!

Not sure if true, but I hope so.

News this morning reported the perp lived a few blocks from the girls home . I wonder if he stalked/planned over a period of time ? Scary stuff for sure . Hopefully the little girl wasn't harmed physically and gets over this mentally .

"Scott Morrison gets a subtle slap-down from WA police minister after dividing opinion by thanking God for 'answering prayers' with Cleo's miracle rescue"
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10162891/Cleo-Smith-Police-minister-takes-swipe-Scott-Morrison-thanked-God-Cleos-return.html ... If he echoes everyone’s joy at the safe return of this little girl and wants to thank God in his message then what’s the big deal? Some people push their bias criticism just a tad too far. I bet if the child’s parents had thanked God no idiot would have uttered a word.
