Reports are that the child’s mother realised that her daughter was missing when she awoke sometime after 04:00h to use the bathroom on the day in question.
The woman said that she went into her children’s bedroom to check on them and noticed that her daughter was not in bed. She said that she made checks in the house but upon seeing the house door open she raised an alarm.
Neighbours joined her in her search for the child and they found her in a bushy area a short distance from her home. The child was bloody, naked and in an unconscious state. She was picked up and rushed to the Bartica Hospital, where she received medical treatment.
