little 4 year old Cleo had been missing 18days.

After 18 days it was really hard to keep hoping and praying she would be found alive and well.   AND SHE HAS BEEN FOUND ALIVE AND WELL.  We thank You, Lord - from the bottom of our hearts.   Our Police Forces have done outstanding works and in all states..........but don't ever be arrested for especially serious crime and in Police custody!!!

Tonight she is home, safe,sound, happpy and well, and with her Mum and Dad. The Western Australian, Premier of Western Australia. was having a difficult time holding back tears.  I bet many of us are!

The Police have arrested the man they are confident is the criminal (no known previous offences) who kidnapped her.  They also are confident that the arrested 38 year old man in Police custody is the only kidnapper involved.  But that will unfold with him being in Police custody.  They will eventually get the whole story out him, of that I am confident.

Here in Sth Australia, where I live, in the past we have had some of the most bizarre and horrific multiple-serial-killers & multiple murdered victims, tortured and murdered horrifically - probably the worst in the whole world, or up there with the worst.  Sometimes, policemen have left the Force due to PTSD. 

And they call Adelaide still, the city of Churches !!!  I love Adelaide, but to call us "the city of Churches' is a misnomer.   It conveys the feelings that Adelaide is a safe city of sound moral standards.  It is not nowadays! like many or most - or all - places world wide.  A policeman once said to me : "If you step out of your front door alone after dark, you have your life in your hands".  Over 28 years living in an Adelaide suburb beset by just about every crime in the book as well as dire poverty,  I learnt to be street wise, many times, I learnt the hard way.  Nowadays one must walk, at any time, even in broad daylight with care.  I don't mean at all paranoia nor any fear, but with utilizing Prudence.

The whole story of Cleo is on the ABC link above.  The Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) is a reliable site.  It might depend on your political leanings and biases however.

How on earth do these Force members endure the shocking things they must see and investigate.  We do need to keep them all in prayer along with all especially on the front lines of keeping us all safe .  It must have been difficult for the cops to keep alive the hope Cleo was ok and they did.  Deep down (I know I did), there was a horrible feeling she would remain missing or found dead...........like missing like little Madeleine in Portugal, still missing in 2021 since 2008, around then I think (no time to research dates).  What her parents must endure - daily - I bet - even still!

And finding Cleo alive and well after 18 days missing, and already the likely kidnapper is in custody.  This is not a wonderful or amazing event  nor anything like it.  It is absolutely miraculous to me - and I am very sure to many others hoping and praying for Cleo all over the world.  There was international interest in little Cleo McCann while missing and very probably, continues still today when found ok,.  It is miraculous!

Madeleine McCann holidaying in Portugal with her parents, kidnapped and still today not still missing.

On finding her happy and well to see the Police after the huge racket with shouting Policemen breaking down the door (locked empty house except for Cleo) brought some of the Police to tears.  Policemen experienced in child abuse and abduction are being imported in order that she is interviewed by experts.

What Cleo's Mum and Dad must have suffered over those 18 days.  Perhaps "the most harrowing experience "they will ever have (Current Affairs 6.30pm Channel 10 program - "The Project"  - I always really strive to watch it. Some of it can be intended to be, and  is, very funny.  But the 3 or 4 men and women on the desk do give intelligent views and aspects of the news - not necessarily my view or aspect . But makes me think.

Let us praise The Lord.  Thanks be to God .................Alleluia!  May our Good Lord please also grant that Cleo indeed proves well and unharmed, when eventually her condition is fully explored and investigated by experts.

Alleluia Amen.
