The eight-year-old girl forgot that it was a holiday and went to school. The police brought her home

Shortly after 11:30, the permanent operations center of the Zlín Municipal Police received a report from a motorist who was driving through Štíp, a local part of Zlín. Here he saw a small child walking unaccompanied alone in a field.

“During the announcement, he stated that he did not address the child so that he would not be afraid of him, but he agreed with the operational officer that he would wait at the scene until the arrival of patrol Mest police Zlín from the local district,” said Deputy Director of the Zlín Municipal Police Pavel Janík.

Ten minutes later, police officers from the Kostelec – Štípa precinct contacted the informant and the little girl. She told the guard that she and her mother did not realize that the Easter holidays had already started, and that she had just left her mobile phone at home.

“So when she found out that the school was closed, she started walking home.” Janík continued.

The girl further told the officers that she would not get into the official vehicle of the city police under any circumstances, because she knows very well that she is not allowed to get into a car with strangers.

“Fortunately, she had at least a telephone contact with her mother, with whom the patrol could contact and inform her about the situation.” added Pavel Janík.

Only after her mother assured her that she was not in any danger from the police officers, did the girl get into the car and the police took her home.
