The police are now trying to identify a car seen speeding away from the campsite at 3.00 a.
Looking back over our adult years , am I wrong in thinking that many more children now go missing?
We will all remember the Brady & Hindley abductions, but they were either mentally ill or just evil. I don’t want to live in a world where people steal children & harm them, because they are no better that Brady & Hindley. 
If criminals want to steal & harm other people’s children ( or even pets for that matter) aren’t we as bad as the criminals if we don’t make their punishments so bad that they decide " it isn’t worth the risk".

I am so very sorry for them and that poor little tot. Still hoping for a miracle but it seems grim
The police are asking for CCTV footage from shops and petrol stations so I suppose they think she might have been taken off in a car. Her sleeping bag was missing so it’s possible she was carried off in that and didn’t just wander off.
Yes, we need severe punishment for this sort of thing. I don’t believe in death penalty but really shut them away for life so they can never even see another child again, let alone hurt them

I would be much harsher! Perhaps we should lock them in a dungeon and release chemicals on a regular basis , that make them suffer!
Perhaps that would make them feel the pain & fear that the children they hurt felt!
Vicious crimes are increasing and we cant keep all criminals in clean accommodation with 3 meals a day for long periods!
I can’t allow myself to think what is happening to abducted children , it is too frightening!

I honestly cant allow myself to hear or read any more awful things happening in this world . I know of this yet I cant think about it . All around every day every week there is dreadful things happening.
Just dont understand anything anymore
As far as I am concerned they should never be allowed in public again. They are a danger to those who can’t protect themselves. IMHO there is no worse predatory behavior.
The Texan in me says once guilty out the back door of courthouse into graveyard.
Brilliant news as this youngster is found alive after missing for more than two weeks.
"Missing four-year-old Cleo Smith has been found “alive and well” after disappearing from a camp site in Western Australia more than two weeks ago.
A team from Western Australia Police broke into a locked house in Carnarvon around 1am on Wednesday morning where they found the little girl in one of the rooms. A man from the area is in custody."

I’m confused that she was found only minutes from her home which is about 50 miles from the camp site where she was abducted…I wonder did he follow the family there? Its very strange.
I read that he has had a good hiding in prison and he is in hospital. We will have to wait a while for explanations
I reckon he must have know her to some extent and she must have trusted him, or I’m sure she would have shouted out when he took her. There is far more to this than we are being told.
Young children sleep deep he could have picked her up in the sleeping bag
I think she would have been paralysed with fear
