The local police have issued an Amber Alert for Hebe Zwart, a disabled 10-year-old girl who has gone missing with her caregiver.
Hebe Zwart was last seen on Monday afternoon in Raamsdonksveer, near Breda, Noord-Brabant, leaving a daycare facility in Sint Theresastraat.
She was reported missing by her mother after she failed to show up after school, along with her caregiver.
She is described as white with blond hair and blue eyes and has a distinctive gait caused by scoliosis, which causes her to walk with her feet pointing outwards.
According to the police, Hebe’s mother is extremely concerned, as her daughter needs constant care due to her condition. Due to her condition, her life is constantly at risk, as she needs to be checked on almost every time.
Hebe is said to have left the daycare facility in a black Kia Picanto with the registration PR-425-K, according to the authorities.
She was wearing a bright pink jacket, blue T-shirt, and black skirt, and carried a purple Eastpark rucksack.
