Cleo Smith

Oh that's wonderful!

I had lost hope.

They are talking to a man but I doubt we will ever be given full details to protect Cleo's privacy. That is how it should be. I'm so glad she was found and is back with her parents.

It’s very very good news that she’s been found The chances of her having not been abused will be very very slim but hopefully with a lot of help she will be able to survive and live beyond
I hope the media doesnt run with it, the family need privacy

Extremely relieved and pleased, but it’s time to give the whole family privacy in order for them to heal and come to terms with the last two plus weeks.

Just for accuracy she’s called Cleo. What an awful two weeks her family must had

I felt the tears welling in my eyes when I read this last night. Such a relief for her parents.

I was also emotional after reading this last night. Such wonderful news for her family.

So relieved this little girl has been found and reunited with her family.

So very glad to read this. I read a dreadful book called 'The Lovely Bones' years ago, it is every parents worst nightmare.

BlueBelle, not every loner out there is a child abuser - so I think there's more than a 'very, very slim' chance that she was kidnapped for other reasons - and really hope so. It was just wonderful to see her on screen this morning.

Thank goodness she is found . Can't imagine the anguish her parents have been through.

Lovely to waken to good news.

Thank goodness Cleo has been found, what a dreadful time for her and her family.
I wish them well in the days ahead.

My view exactly bikergran first thing I saw this morning, well done to all involved.

Yes, such happy news. How and where was she taken- I am on holiday up in the high mountains and not been following the news closely.

Such wonderful news her parents must be ecstatic .

Apparently there has been no abuse and there is a man in custody but at this time no charges have been laid. She was found only a few minutes from her home and was by herself in a locked house.

Kali2 she was taken almost 3 weeks ago while on a camping trip with her family in a remote Western Australia area. She was take from the family tent sometime between 1.30 am and 6 am. There was a massive search over many days but police found her in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Don’t know any details so shouldn’t comment, but when it was on the News, I said to DH that I would have wanted my child to be sleeping the far end of the tent, and DH and me to be at the opening end, for extra security.

Does anyone remember the Shannon Matthews case?

Kandinsky

Does anyone remember the Shannon Matthews case?

My son in Sydney mentioned that in fact…….

Yes indeed kadinsky I remember it well

I can't imagine the parents are anyway complicit, unlike the Shannon Matthews case.

Kali2

Yes, such happy news. How and where was she taken- I am on holiday up in the high mountains and not been following the news closely.

Not a problem with following the political news, though, and posting a link to yesterday’s Guardian.

Yes it’s wonderful news but I do wish people/the media would stop going on about “loners”. A lot of people are on their own/without friends through no fault of their own or would simply rather live that way.
