missing girl

Missing girl

A 2-year old girl is missing after flooding hit Harihari on the West Coast. Her name is Emily.
The incident happened on Thursday when Emily and her family were going to pick up a possum trapper and another girl. On the way back the ute got stuck in a swelling Poerua river on a farm near Harihari.  The possum trapper grabbed the girl then lost her in waist deep water.   A 66 year old man has also died after being caught in the river. They found his body further down the river.
Emily's mum made a statement for her she said, Emily was a happy cheeky girl who loved the outdoors. 
I think that it is very sad and that the parents must be so sad!
