At the place where the girl fell into the water, there was still one of her slippers. The warning sign beside the slipper said, "Do not enter the water when the water is deep and the current is fast." The warning sign was pasted with a notice of missing people. Yesterday morning, a citizen found the body of a child in the stream of Baisha Village, Zhongluotan Town, Baiyun District, Guangzhou City. According to the preliminary investigation by the police, the drowning girl is Tian, who lives with her parents in Puding Village, Zhongluotan Town temporarily. She is 3 years old this year. Aunt Tian, the mother of the dead child, said that her daughter, Xiaomeng, disappeared after going out to play at about 4:00 p.m. on the 8th of this month, and then found her shoes at Yongbian near her home. Then the family searched for many days without success, and unfortunately, bad news came yesterday morning. The police remind parents to enhance their safety awareness and strengthen the custody and guardianship of children.
The floating corpse in the river is a girl who disappeared 4 days ago
Xiao Yang is a courier in Baisha Village. According to his introduction, he found the body at about 10 am yesterday when he passed by the edge of a river in the village. "The head and hands are swollen". The witness, Mr. Xu, said that the body was staying at a sluice in Chung. The rapid current made it keep rolling and turning. Later, the neighborhood called the police.
At about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the reporter came to the scene to see that the body of the child had been picked up and placed beside the river, covered with quilts, and the scene could smell strange smells. The children's relatives squatted beside them, frowning. Aunt Wang, the child's third aunt, told the reporter that the child was a girl named Xiaomeng, who was 3 years old this year.
It turned out that at about 5:00 p.m. on October 8, Xiaomeng's mother came to the factory to find Aunt Wang and said that Xiaomeng had disappeared. She also found her shoes in the river near her home. After hearing this, Aunt Wang and her relatives quickly put down their work and looked for Little Dream together. Aunt Wang said that at about 6:00 that night, they called the police and asked the staff of the river section to help drain the river, but there was still no trace of Little Dream. The next day, they searched for another day and still had no whereabouts. "The father of the child has been looking for him these days, but there is no news." Aunt Wang said that after the father of the child arrived at the scene yesterday morning, she confirmed that Yongbian's body was Xiaomeng.
Parent Ben thought about taking her home at the winter solstice
At about 3:00 pm yesterday, the reporter came to the pudding village of Zhongluotan Town where Xiaomeng lived temporarily, and met her mother, Aunt Tian. Aunt Tian told the reporter that five members of her family came to Puding Village from their hometown in Guizhou at the beginning of this year, and her husband worked in the factory, while she took three daughters at home full-time, namely, 3-year-old Little Dream, 2-year-old Second Daughter and 8-month Daughter.
Aunt Tian said that at about 4:00 pm on the 8th, she took her little daughter at home, and the second daughter and little dream were playing outside with the children in the neighborhood. A few minutes later, Aunt Tian found that only her second daughter came back, so she immediately took her second daughter to find Xiaomeng. After confirming Xiaomeng's death yesterday, Aunt Tian was very sad. "I thought about the winter solstice with her father this year, so we sent her back to Guizhou to go to kindergarten".
Under the guidance of Aunt Wang, the reporter came to the riverside steps where Xiaomeng sandals were found, and saw more than 1m high stone railings on both sides of the steps. There was a warning sign beside the steps, saying "Water is deep and rushing, no water allowed". On the sign was Xiaomeng's notice of looking for someone. Four days later, Xiaomeng's sandals were still in place. This step is more than 40 meters away from Xiaomeng's home, and about 14 kilometers away from Xiaomeng's body. Aunt Wang said that she asked the children in the neighborhood who played with Xiaomeng whether they knew how Xiaomeng fell, but to no avail.
Yesterday, a reporter asked a 5-year-old girl near Xiaomeng's home. She said that she did not know Xiaomeng. Her parents said, "My children usually play at home, and she will not be allowed to play alone by the river.". In addition, the reporter did not see the installation of monitoring facilities near the river, and few citizens walked by the river.
