4 Year Old Girl Found Wandering Alone
Earlier this morning a four year old girl was found wandering the streets alone. According to police reports the child was staying with her grandfather and had somehow “wandered off”. She was found wandering around Plano, and someone called the authorities to alert them. She was found around 5 am by someone who lived in an apartment complex nearby. They asked the little girl things such as her name, but she could not recall where she was staying. The police then had to spend several hours attempting to locate the girl’s home. They questioned neighbors and other residents if they knew where she lived. The young girl, Kimber, and her sister live with their grandmother who is their legal guardian. However, they were staying with their grandfather, who is divorced from their grandmother. After seeing Kimber’s face in the news, her grandmother called the police. The authorities are investigating how Kimber got out of her grandfather’s apartment, and how he didn’t even notice. Kimber and her sister have gone back to their grandmother’s and Child Protective Services is looking into their case. No charges have been filed against the grandfather as of now, but the police said it could very likely happen.
This article was updated around 6 this evening. It warns of the neglect some children face, and how they should be properly protected. The fact that this four year old girl crept out without the slightest hint of acknowledgment is baffling to me. She was very lucky that she was found by a trusting and compassionate person. She could’ve just as easily been taken in by someone with dishonorable intentions.
