Great news - this happened just down the road from where I live. All credit to the police, there's been a massive presence in the area.
A little reported side-story to this was that some Dewsbury Moor residents found out that a registered sex offender was living in the vicinity. So they nailed him to a cross.

Found in Batley Carr, apparently an area of great interest to the police over recent days. Sounds like they have been closing in for a few days.

Well done to all involved

Nothing like a group of angry parents to jump to conclusions.

Remember years ago when the Daily Express were printing photo's of known sex offenders? Bloke round here was nearly killed after the beating he took. Was he a sex offender? No. Someone reckoned he looked like him so that was good enough.

Have they said if she was kidnapped though? Or did she just run away from her stepdad?

Unconfirmed reports that she was found under a bed at her grandparents house. This could get interesting.

Is anyone thinking what i'm thinking?

The mother has 7 children with 5 different dads and has spent all her life on benefits on a poverty stricken council estate.

The mother knew someone had snatched her that was known to the family.

Thousands of man hours searching for her, the cost to the taxpayer, a few hundred thousand.

Reward money!!!

Or am i being unsympathetic and cruel?

Dont get me wrong, im glad the wee girl is safe but was there something more sinister

How has no-one spotted the girl in all this time unless she was kidknapped?

I think thats quite harsh - and cruel. There has been no kidnap demand has there? Thus, no ransom?

Maybe people should do less speculation and wait for the CONFIRMED report!

Also, with regards to people on being on the sex offenders register and being lynched etc - and please don't shoot me here because i think peodophiles are the scum of the earth and should be hung out to dry, however, any one of you blokes could go to a club, have a few beers, be approached by some sprauncy young lady looking rather tasty, you take her home, or whatever and before you no it, you find out that infact, she's NOT 18 like she told you, but 15 - that would land you on the sex offenders register and then people would tarnish you with the same brush as Ian Huntly! Which is a TAD unfair isn't it. Just because your on a flaming register, does that really make you as bad as first impressions make you out to be?

Being a Pedophile is the same as being Gay, in the essence that the Pedophile/Gay man/woman can't help feel the way they do. It's in their gene's. Nothing they can do about it.

I'm not defending their actions, but just pointing out nobody chooses to be a pedophile.

As for your comment regarding the nightclub situation. Couldn't agree more. Nightclubs should be sued for allowing minor in, in the first place.

But surely thats the whole point, its not about the desire, its how you deal with it and the actions you take.
Everyone controls urges, from eating a cream cake while on a diet, to murdering your ex, but for 99% they are urges that CAN be controlled....

I'm really glad she's been found safe and well. But letting a 9-year-old walk home from swimming on her own....

Glad she's been found, hope she's ok.

My theory (based on the news reports and pure speculation). She ran away to try and escape her horrible scummy family, and a sad lonely guy has tried to help her out.

I'm glad she's been found, I'm sick of seeing the poxy bloody chavs on our news every bloody day!

I'm sure as egg is eggs that it's an inside job and have said so from the start. If my kid went missing I'd be out looking for it, not releasing ballons, printing T shirts, appealing for money and making links to the Mcanns everyday...and don't get me started on them!

Kids / people go missing everyday, it annoys me that one here and there should get special treatment over the rest.

I totally agree mate, if you ask me the mother showed little sympathy anyway, maybe this wa sa cry for help.

Im very glad they found her safe and well though, thank god.
