Brant County Ontario Provincial Police detachment says Brooklyn Honderich’s parents reported her missing just after 7 p.m. Sunday.
A toddler who wandered away from a farm in Southwestern Ontario has been found safe after spending the night outside in a cornfield.
Two-year-old Brooklyn Honderich was checked out by paramedics and taken to hospital as a precaution after being reunited with her parents, said Ontario Provincial Police Constable Larry Plummer.
"She appears to be in very good condition," he said. "It's just fantastic."
Little Brooklyn disappeared while her parents were working on a farm east of Norwich, Ont., south of Woodstock, around 7 p.m. on Sunday.
She was found some 15 hours later, around 10 a.m. Monday, after an extensive overnight search by the OPP that included canine units and a police helicopter.
Constable Plummer said a volunteer searcher located the child up to 1 kilometre away from where she went missing in an area where a large cornfield – with cornstalks measuring as high as three metres – meets a soya bean field.
The discovery prompted "just a bunch of relief in all our searchers, and I'm sure for the family, too," he said.
Brooklyn was found after a second wave of officers and volunteers began another search of the cornfields surrounding the farm, hopeful that the daylight would help them locate the child.
