A desperate hunt a toddler is underway after he vanished while playing in a garden on holiday. Two-year-old Émile was playing in the garden in Le Vernet in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence on Saturday when he went missing on Saturday.
Emile's grandparents had been preparing for a day out when they went to collect him from the garden before realising he had disappeared. François Balique, the mayor of Le Vernet, told French TV: "The family was getting ready to leave the house to go on an outing.
"He took advantage of this fleeting moment [of inattention] to leave. His grandparents realised he was no longer there when they went to put him in the car."
