I am really glad to learn she was found safe and well but stories you here quite often like this do not have such a good ending
What were the parents doing that their 4 year old could just wander off like that

The parents were in the area when they allowed her daughter to be with the group of other kids in the state park.

@Ineeddentures I am sure that the authorities told the parents they were lucky that their child was not kidnapped or hurt in the park.

I know what you mean since when I read the headline, I was afraid that she was a goner.

You are right. Children can vanish quickly in a crowd.

When I first saw the story on the internet. I thought that the girl could have been hurt or killed in the park.

They did a great job. Here a girl eloped with her boyfriend. After a week she was rescued from a red light area. Her so called boyfriend had sold her there. The man was found and arrested.

That is terrible that a girl was sold into slavery by her boyfriend.

I wonder how she got so far. I wonder why no one missed her, or saw her leave.

Good question since children know who to vanish in a crowd of strangers.

The authorities are asking parents to keep a sharper eye on their children from now on.

What a wonderful outcome! A four-year-old being lost for several hours is every family's nightmare, so it's a huge relief that she was found alive and reunited with her relatives the same evening.
