SINGAPORE : Police are searching for a missing nine-year-old
Filipino girl, Kaye Charish Mae Patino, who was last seen in her
home at Block 119, Potong Pasir Avenue 1 Wednesday morning.
They are also appealing to the public to help find her.
Kaye is the third in a family of five and studies at Beng Wan
Primary.
According to her mother, Kaye would normally watch television in
the morning after she gets up.
But lately she told her mother that some men had been talking to
her.
Conchita Patino, Kaye's mother said: "My daughter told me that one
Indian man was calling out at her. So I asked my daughter why they
were calling her. She said he was just calling out for her. And
she'll run up and tell me about it. Then there's a Chinese man
who's been coming to sell something for three days now. I told them
we are not interested, but he is still coming here."
Police say efforts by their officers and the girl's guardians to
locate her have so far been unsuccessful.
Police are continuing with intensive searches and men from the
Special Operations Command have also been deployed, combing some
construction sites in the Potong Pasir vicinity.
Valentino Patino, the girl's father is appealing to the public for
help.
"Whoever saw my daughter please contact us, give us a call or tell
to the police," said Mr Patino
Police say Kaye is 1.2 metres tall with shoulder length black
hair.
She was last wearing a red t-shirt and blue shorts.
Anyone who knows her whereabouts can call the police hotline
