Original post:
Early this morning, a young juvenile female—believed to be approximately 4-years-old—was found in the 500 block of Crawford Street. A resident called 911 after seeing her approach their home and being captured on doorbell video.
Officers attempted to locate her home and/or her parent/guardian, but were unsuccessful.
She was transported to Children’s Hospital for medical evaluation—where she is uninjured and in good health. She is now in the custody of Allegheny County’s Office of Children, Youth, and Families.
At the time she was found, she was wearing a gray tank top and shorts, and her hair had braids with beads.
Anyone with any information on her identity or that of her parents/guardian is asked to call 911.
