GIBRALTER (WWJ) - Downriver police said social media helped them locate the family of a found little girl within an hour after they posted the girls' photo to their Facebook page Thursday morning.
The Gibraltar Police Department said the toddler was reunited with family members not long after they shared her story to social media around 7:50 a.m.
Authorities first received a call about a child found in the area of Bayview and Stoeflet earlier this morning and police had been looking for her family.
"She is unable to tell us her name," the police department said on social media.
In an update at 8:50 a.m., police announced the girl's family was found.
The department told WWJ that the 'power of social media' made for a happy ending.
"Thank you everyone," police said.
