A young three year old girl has been found, crying and confused on Saturday, after being abandoned by her father at a Melbourne train station. Staff of the Southern Cross train station found Xue Qianxun - from New Zealand.
The authorities have grave concerns of the where-a-bouts of the child's mother and searches will be carried out soon to track her down.
Police believe that the child's father - Xue Naiyin, a Chinese-language magazine publisher - flew to the US after dumping his daughter. CCTV footage shows the youngster being led into the station by a man - believed to be her father - then left alone, at the foot of an escalator of which the man ascends, pulling along a suitcase. Airlines later confirmed that he boarded a plane about two hours later.
The main concern now, at the moment, is the search for the girls mother - Anan Lui, 27, known as Annie - and suspicions are arising that the woman has been harmed, as she hasn't come forward about her daughter.
For now, the young girl has been placed in foster care in Melbourne.
