Once in a while these stories have happy endings.... and Nadia Bloom's is one of them! MyFoxOrlando.com broke the news thing morning--that the 11-year-old girl from Winter Springs, Florida has been found alive! Nadia Bloom was reported missing on Friday when her bicycle was discovered at the end of a cul-de-sac on her street, about a half mile away from her home. Metro Church volunteer James King reportedly found the child by the shoreline of Lake Jesup, dehydrated and covered in mosquitoe bites. Authorities say they had to use machetes to get to the missing child in the isolated woods and thick brush. The Florida swamp in which Nadia was found is near her suburban home, CBS news reports.
Authorities say she disappeared the same day her sister and father left for a trip to the Everglades with a Brownie troop, and that she was carrying a book called "Lanie" about a young girl who loves the outdoors. She is being treated at South Seminole Hospital, where doctors expect her to have a short stay.
What a miracle!! James King is a hero for not giving up on the search for this girl.
