Sharjah, UAE:
A minor Indian girl, who went missing from her home in Sharjah, was found after five hours, thanks to social media spreading information about her, media reported on Monday.

The grade three student of Our Own School, Sharjah, slipped out of her home in Al Musalla area in Rolla on Saturday evening, soon after her mother went for her evening shift duty.

"I'm thankful to all the people who helped. People distributed her photo and also spread the message on WhatsApp and Facebook," said the relieved father after the minor was restored to him after remaining missing for at least five hours.
The girl's picture was shared on various social networking platforms.
