Child reported 'missing' following game of hide and seek


A four-year-old girl has been found safe and well after disappearing during a game of hide and seek at her home in Garsfontein, Pretoria.

The girl was missing for several hours before she was found by Cilliers Naude, a Basic Life Support Paramedic, under a table inside her parents' home.

More than fifty people including police officers, security officers and local residents joined the search for the little girl.

It's believed the little girl usually plays hide and seek with her father when he returns home from work, but this time she hid herself so well that no one could find her.

Initially, the parents had thought she was kidnapped.

When she was eventually found, Netcare911 assessed the child and found that she was well.

The paramedics went on to treat her mother for shock and difficulty in breathing.
