The We Love Care charity association recently discovered that a missing child in Shwepyitha Township, Yangon Region, was found in a begging group.

The five-year-old girl had been playing with her father at Shwepyitha Park when she went missing around 5:30 p.m. on March 12.

According to an official from the charity association, the child vanished while her father stepped out to make a purchase. During this time, a girl approximately ten years old took the child, intending to feed her a snack. A woman was waiting nearby with a motorcycle carrier. The parents promptly reported the child missing, and the charity association sought assistance from their team. Today, at 10:00 a.m. (on March 13), the child was found near the end of Danyingon Road, close to people begging for food.

The child was discovered by a man near her home. The charity association cooperated with relevant officials and reviewed CCTV footage. During the child’s disappearance, they also warned the parents about potential deceitful individuals who might claim to have the child and ask for money.

Interestingly, in recent months, numerous missing person advertisements have appeared on the Facebook.
