Missing girl found asleep under toys

[Alien]

BERLIN - A panicked mother sparked a police search when she reported her three-year-old daughter missing, only to find the girl asleep under a pile of cuddly toys in her bedroom, German police say.

Three squad cars began searching the area around the family home in the northern town of Luebeck before the unit assigned to the house found a way through the toys several hours later.

"The child was a bit surprised at all the commotion," a police spokesman said. "Then she got into bed and went back to sleep."

Do German parents yell at the top of their lungs when trying to elicit a response from their children the way that Americans do? They must not...if only they did, this entire situation could have been avoided.

i like that the article specifies that the toys were "cuddly"
