Mr Brown’s one-and-a-half hour scare

Popular blogger Mr Brown went on a frantic search for about one and half hours yesterday after learning that his autistic daughter had broken away from her mother and run off while at the busy Dhoby Ghaut MRT station during the evening rush hour.

Faith, 11, can't speak and is afraid of crowds, said Mr Brown. He turned to Twitter to get the online community to help in the hunt.

Mr Brown, his brother and a friend eventually found Faith unhurt. She was with a staff member at another station.
