Missing Canadian Baby Found after Wandering Away All Night
A Canadian toddler named Brooklyn Honderich, who had wandered away last Sunday night from an Ontario farm and was found last Monday morning near a cornfield. Brooklyn was found to be safe.
The two-year-old little girl was taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure. OPP Const. Larry Plummer said that Brooklyn was located at around 10 o'clock in the morning by one volunteer who was assisting the search team. Plummer told CTV News that it was a "very happy ending" as the toddler was found. He said that one of the "volunteer searchers" had found little Brooklyn in the edge of a cornfield in a bean field. The place where she was found was around one kilometre away from the place that the two-year-old child was last seen.
The volunteer who found Brooklyn identified himself as Steve, CBC News reported. He said that the search team was walking along the back cornfield while the volunteers were calling out Brooklyn's name. However, he said that there was nothing that he could return in return. Steve, who refused to give his last name, said that he had then heard the cry of a little girl, which he followed. The noise took him "right to her," he said. Steve also said that he had started searching for the girl with the father Ron only for ten minutes when he found her. The father of the little girl said that they had in a ways and pulled her out. Brooklyn was lying down there and crying, he said. "It was pretty special," Steve said, "I've got two kids of my own, so you know, to hear her and all she wanted to do was go to her mommy and daddy, it was pretty special."
When the toddler got missing, an elaborated search was launched last Sunday night. The search resumed on Monday morning as canine units as well as 25 officers along with a team of volunteers conducted a detailed search in the locality. Plummer said that it worked in favour of the girl that Sunday night was not as cold as it had been earlier.
