A girl who had been missing for two years has been found safe in a secret room under a staircase in Saugerties, New York, police said.
Paislee Shultis was reported missing from her Cayuga Heights home in July 2019, when she was 4 years old, according to NBC 4. Police initially suspected the girl’s non-custodial parents, but did not bring charges.
New York State Police found the girl over 150 miles away on Monday, acting on a tip that she was being hidden in the Hudson Valley town.

If both her parents were noncustodial, perhaps they lost custody because they were ruled unfit?
However, it was the real mom and the real father who had the girl. I know they were non-custodial, but in today’s litigious world, what does that really mean.
Were they actually abusive to the girl, or did some busybody neighbors come up with constant horrific stories to tell the New York CPS? And having lived in NY, the CPS there is horrific all own their own!
That’s why I phrased it the way I did. We don’t really enough facts. Usually, if there are two parents, they aren’t both noncustodial.
Agreed. Only in our bizarro world does the state of NY that applauds aborting viable babies as "freedom", even babies who survived abortion, is the same state who believes it has the authority to declare who is fit to raise kids.
That'd be like have accounting regulations dictated by Richard Scrushy.

The problem is, you can’t really trust the courts anymore either. It’s interesting that the custodial guardian is not named, not even the Daily Mail has ferreted out that information and it ought to be on the original missing report.
The fact that it remains hidden could indicate that the legal guardian has influence within the system.
Memo: Don’t hide things under the stairs. The cops are on to this trick!
LOL
Well I’ve gleaned two pieces of information from other articles, she has an older sister and her home is in an upscale community adjacent to Cornell University.
So whoever has custody is apparently well heeled. I wonder if it’s the maternal grandparents?
The Courts are garbage. They are ran by incompetents and liars. I have rarely seen an accurate court verdict. They almost always get the verdict wrong, and it doesn't really matter what the case is about.
If there is a worst way to do it, *THAT* is usually the result the courts pick.
A very important detail.
As mentioned elsewhere on this thread, I, too, don’t trust the family court system as far as I could throw it.
I don’t think you should make conclusions about the court case against the parents unless you’ve read the actual court case. Freepers agonize when tragic stories happen to little kids in the custody of their parents, then turn around and make blanket judgements about custodians in this case. I would say that those stairs don’t look like a great place for a little girl.
The parents probably hid the little girl because they were worried the court system would take her away from them. A little room under the stairs may be no big deal. I don't know what it looks like, but it may be okay.
Given that the people who are putting out this story seem to think it's a big deal, I think it probably isn't. I don't trust the media liars either.
I find it odd that the parents are cooperating with each other unless they are in the right and the court is in the wrong.
I notice other people wonder what was the original reason why the child was placed with other people. I suspect we don't know the reason because it's not very good.
Seeing how she was found under the stairs with her mother, I doubt she was living there. Probably just went there to hide when someone knocked on the door.
