Girl rescued after police chase
A three-year-old girl who had allegedly been kidnapped from her home in South Wales has been rescued after a police chase in the early hours of Tuesday.
A police spokesman said a 26-year-old man from South Wales was arrested after his Escort crashed on the A4 between Hungerford and Marlborough.

The man was arrested on suspicion of kidnap and driving with excess alcohol.

The child was taken by helicopter to Swindon's Great Western Hospital where she was treated for minor injuries.

She has now been reunited with her parents.

'Failed to stop'

Police say they first spotted a grey Ford Escort in Swindon where it drove through a red light at the Blagrove roundabout.

Officers pursued the car along the M4 for about four miles where it left at junction 15 before heading for 10 miles down the A4 towards Hungerford where it crashed.

Police are appealing for anyone who saw a grey L-registration Ford Escort Ghia driving along the M4 eastbound, or in west Swindon around junction 16, late last night or shortly after midnight, to contact them.

The man has now been handed over to South Wales Police. "

Seems like it was just chance that she was found. So glad she is safe.

I don't believe in capital punishment but I believe evil bastards like this should have their balls and penises surgically removed. They have undoubtedly damaged this childs genitals yet they get to keep theirs?

It's hideous, I can't believe children are being taken from their own homes, where they are suppoesed to feel safe and happy. These things affect me so much more now that I'm a Mom, I couldn't bear it if anyting happened to my little ones. I hope these people are caught and get what they deserve.

Oh god what is wrong with people?

calebsmum · 04/01/2006 14:51

I can't even put into words what i'd like to do to this men. Hope they get tortured beyond belief in prison

Redtartanlass · 04/01/2006 19:29

Agree with Carmenere, I hope they rot in hell. God knows how the poor family and wee girl are coping.

Guardian report says

God, watching the news just now and it seems as though she was found purely by chance. The police just happened to pull over the car she was in for a red light offence about 80miles from where she lived ... thank god eh, otherwise we would doubtless be hearing the worst in a few days time

I somehow think this story is going to get more shocking. Three men involved, rape, kidnap driving to London- sounds like organised crime.

I never thought I would say this but for this sort of crime I think I am starting to favour capital punishment.

welshboris · 04/01/2006 19:45

I dont know, I cant read anymore

charliecat · 04/01/2006 19:51

Jeesus That is bloody awful

kid · 04/01/2006 19:55

The poor child, its sickening to think of what she was put through. So glad the police found her, God knows what else those evil men were going to do

WideWebWitch · 04/01/2006 20:13

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this today. This along with the 6yo taken from the bath story just makes me want to run away and live with the Amish or something. It's so incomprehensible that people can do this to children. I'm usually a wooly liberal but I feel my string 'em up hackles rising, this is so, so sad and truly terrible. I would say I hope she'll be ok but she won't be, will she?

SnowmAngeliz · 04/01/2006 20:20

Oh how awful.
Just put them in a room with the girls family i see and don't expect to see them again!

BASTARDS BASTARDS BASTARDS.
I really can't bear things like this.
The 6 year old snatched from her bath was in my area ( not immediate) and TBH since then, dp and i have been even more vigilant about locking every door and window when dd1 is upstairs or downstairs alone.

Hope they all meet terrible painful early deaths!

As a mum of a 3 year old girl this story chills me to the core.

Tinker · 04/01/2006 20:24

How was she taken from her home, what were the details?

galaxy · 04/01/2006 20:26

My dd has just turned 3 - this is so chilling. Poor little mite.

On her way to bed sounds odd though.

cupcakes · 04/01/2006 20:31

the mum could have been on her way to bed when she realised she was missing.

oh sorry - didn't read that earlier quote.
You're right.

kid · 04/01/2006 20:34

It said on one of the reports that none of the men arrested were related to the girl. Maybe they knew the family. Whatever the whole story, its tragic.
