Why wasn’t the family watching her more carefully?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

It was good that that observant person person reported his sighting, and so the girl was rescued without mishaps occuring.
