"Found alive" is overly dramatical..

Four year old girl missing for two years and not found dead
somewhere...reporting as found alive seems perfectly reasonable.
The hidden in plain sight (except for when the authorities come
looking and then she's hidden out of sight) is what raises loads
of questions.

To you maybe, to me it was over dramatised.
There wasn't really a need to make "Alive" the focus of the
report IMHO - why not make the focus of the report "found"
instead, as the rest of the story showed that she was in good
health... with her parents and grandparent.
Some people just like to add drama to anything I suppose.

The question that comes to my mind is why there was a court
appointed guardian and that they were still allowed
unaccompanied access.

At her age, it won't take much to push her off the perch, but
that would certainly kybosh the Jubilee year!
However, if anyone has access to the best treatment, it will be
her - she is not like some old granny who can't get to see her
GP because he doesn't do housecalls.
I wish her a speedy recovery.

So many questions. Was it a bad leg or a scam, and a circular
saw, for crying out loud, that must have made quite the mess?

University's Botanic Garden in 1954, has fallen during Storm
Eunice."
Proves Newton's theory - again!

The Westies (Irish gang in New York in the 70's and 80's) cut
some people up with a circular saw, but they did it in bathtubs,
except for once I think in a tiled bathroom in the bar. It
apparently makes quite a mess.

I stopped drinking Russian vodka in 1979 after they invaded
Afghanistan. My go-to is Luksusowa, Polish luxury vodka.
