A two-year-old girl is fighting for her life after being found unconscious in a park fountain. Grace Lear disappeared from her mother Hannah and her older brother Noah at Fishpond Park in Pontypool on Tuesday afternoon after Hannah had taken them there with their friends on the way back from Griffithstown Primary School.
After an hour passed on the up to then unremarkable afternoon, Grace’s father Sam arrived with their youngest child Benjamin. Hannah says the pair and their friends were distracted for “a few split seconds” on the lawn beside the play area in the park before realising Grace had wandered off.
“He (partner Sam) brought him (Benjamin) over to our little group and in the split few seconds our attention had turned and Grace disappeared,” Hannah said. “She hadn’t even been missing for one minute before we looked up to find her gone.
