## Report

Local Wire no longer carries this appeal as current, and has removed the description it originally republished.

Appeals are published here to help find someone, and they stop helping once they are old. A page that still says a person is missing long after they have been found does them harm rather than good, so this one retires itself.

The Hamilton Police Service's own page carries whatever the current situation is: [read it there](https://www.haltonpolice.ca/news-releases/posts/public-assistance-sought-to-identify-young-girl-seen-in-burlington/).
