'My name is Cleo': Missing girl found in Australia two weeks after disappearing

In a case that has gripped Australia, a four-year-old girl who went missing from a campsite more than two weeks ago has been found alive.

Cleo Smith was camping with her family in Western Australia when she disappeared from her parent's tent.

She was found by police in a house in the town of Carnarvon, not far from the campsite.

A 36-year-old local man has been arrested.

The world needed one to be saved after losing too many. Welcome home Cleo!

I once lost my seven year old son for ten minutes in a shopping centre. It was excruciating. I can't begin to imagine what these parents were going through. Great job WA Police!!!

Wonderful! Cloe herself must be so happy to go home and her parents must be so relieved and full of joy. Lovely news!

What a wonderful news I’m so glad she well

[ynwajft]

The way she says "My name is Cleo" broke my heart, she must have been terrified....The guy who took her lived in her area but followed the family camping and lay in wait until they slept? It's terrifying...

Just imagine for 1 second the relief of the mother as soon as she heard her daughters voice, SubhanAllah, may Allah bless everyone who helped find her

Thank God for Detective Senior Sergeant Cameron Blaine and fellow detectives,
who brought total resolve to this case. Rescuing and finding Cleo very quickly....
The best news Australia has heard in quite a while.

The Portuguese police need to take note on how to conduct a search properly. So glad the little girl has been found 😁
