Ive just heard this on the radio as breaking news! Thank God! Nice to hear a positive outcome for a change! :-) :-)

[daffy654]

If she ran away she must have been hidden by an adult for the last 3 weeks. No 9 year old could have kept out of sight for that long on her own.

Thank god! Whatever the story is, she's alive, such good news!!!!

[~Wingnut~]

Thank God she's been found alive!

Says on Skynews website;

"The little girl was reportedly found hiding under a bed in a her grandparents' home."

Haven't heard any other news yet tho, just glad the outcome has been a good one.

[CAJ1]

Its great news that she has been found alive - I'm sure everyone was expecting different news but I agree with daffy - an adult must have hidden her

[daffy654]

Does that mean the grandparents have been hiding her? If so I wonder why. I will be keeping an eye on the news reports.

[gina32]

apparently she has been found hiding under a bed at her grandparents house!! bit strange isnt it

[MONTCRIEFF49]

that is great news
havnt seen any news today but will put it on now

thats great tho xxxxxx

[4getmenot]

er it said she was found in a neighbours house, a man who had had his own children taken away

[chazza]

She wasn't at her grandparents house

She was being kept in a house by a man, she was kept in the base of a divan bed

[spaced]

at last there is good news to be reported. Amazing, I would have bet my bottom dollar that she would be found dead

[andrea81]

Bit confused....

Wasn't she found hiding in her grandparents house????

What man???

[nedflanders]

I smell a rat, there is more to this story than we know about at this time!!!!

[Gromit]

The grandparents bit is unconfirmed at the moment, but the following report is telling...

Mrs Matthews said: "She got abducted. That's all I can say."

Asked if she thought it was someone she knew who took her, she said: "It seems that way because there's no trace of her at all.

"There's no trace of her swimming costume, her towel or anything like that that she's taken with her."

And asked why someone close to her would do it, Mrs Matthews replied: "Just to hurt me, really."
