I think it's a bit unfair to jump to criticise the parents when we don't know the full circumstances, ok so maybe a 5 year old shouldn't be out unsupervised but 999,999 times out of a million this wouldn't happen and by the sounds of it they're good parents who will be cut up enough about this without being looked down on for it

Agreed! And most kids play outside anyway. You can't keep them indoors all the time.

Thankyou Chuff:xyxwave:

Please help spread the word. We need to help find this little girl. Maybe someone has seen her? :(

The whole of Wales is looking for her

She could be anywhere by now,everyone needs to be alert,and fingers crossed she gets found soon.

The first 48 hours are usually crucial in these cases so let us hope the police manage to get some leads and find her safe and well....

I am sure her parents are going to beat themselves up enough with "what ifs" in time but right now everyone should be concentrating on finding her and worrying about recriminations and fault afterwards......Feel for them all right now....couldn't imagine being in there positions and hope to God I never find out:(

I feel for the family but it is getting really ridiculous now as to how adults leave children of this age to play for long periods and at all times.

All the news of children going missing would have me ,if I ever have any children in my life, to ensure they are safe at all times, that will mean they are at least able to be seen at this age no matter when they are playing or otherwise.

The message to Parents cannot be made any stronger from all the children that go missing, keep them safe and 'you' make sure they are safe.

I haven't got children but if i did no i wouldn't. I do have nephews one is only a baby but the other at 5 would have been in bed at 7:30 at night.

News conference with police and family @ 4:30pm Sky News.

I have 3 Gillian the oldest is 9 and I would never let her play out at 5 years old and even now she is watched and in bed by 8pm,we had an incident in our family several years ago that made us all highly aware,so I am probably OVER cautious,it is a shame we have to be like this,as kids so love to play and are so trusting,and how awful that they cannot be like that due to some horrible people out there,i feel so sorry for her parents,they must be besides themselves and probably only took their eyes off the ball for a few minutes,that's all it takes.Fingers crossed for thois little one.

I feel so very sad watching this news conference now,PLEASE lets find her soon.It seems very waterlogged and lots of woods and stuff.it will take some searching.Kay Burley is a tad insensitive i think keeping on abour peodphiles all the time

a 46 year old male has been arrested

Live On all news now

Oh,someones been arrested 40+ year old guy she is still missing!!

Seaching What


She went in a VAN

to a room?

I meant the people who were out searching the woodland etc,it seems quite vast,but seems someone has been arrested so hopefully she is found soon.

Yes Silly. As she went in a Van

The 46 year old arrested
may have info if its a peado ring.

yes arista but she COULD have been dumped if she has come to harm.

Or Worse Burried

Let's hope she's still alive. :bawling:

And the 46 year old
has not been charged and could be let go.

And the 46 year old
has not been charged and could be let go.

Of course.


But the police know more than they are saying
if it is a Peado ring
you must be ready for the worst.

I just hope they've arrested the right person and that they can find April alive, this is a horrible story - so soon after the Tia Sharp case too - I really hope this has a happy ending...

Yes they will find out
or let him go.



Yes a happy ending sounds great
