A missing six-year-old girl who was last seen in Whitby over the weekend has been found in Mississauga and is now safe and sound, Durham Regional Police say.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, officers said that Kaylee was last seen at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 3, near Dundas Street and Thickson Road in Whitby. Her disappearance prompted a wide search by police and a call for assistance to the media and the public.<\/p>\n

Shortly after noon today, police took to social media to confirm that the child had been located.<\/p>\n

Police did not release any additional details about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, but a spokesman for Durham Police said she was found in Mississauga \u201cwith the assistance of the media and some information from the public\u201d in the company of Blair Hamilton, a friend of her father\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe will be assessed and medically cleared, and we will be interviewing the man she was with,\u201d the spokesman said.<\/p>\n

Hamilton has not been charged with any offence in this case and police said that an investigation into the incident is still ongoing.<\/p>\n

In a follow-up post on social media, police credited her safe return home to the \u201cdiligent work of our investigators, strong community awareness, and the support of the Child Search Network alert system.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to recognize and thank everyone involved for contributing to a positive and successful outcome,\u201d police said on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the tools used to support DRPS\u2019s efforts today was the MCSC Rescue Child Search Alert, which sends notifications directly to mobile devices when a high-risk missing child may be in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n
