Teen living in market stall: Tin Pei Ling says girl doing well, authorities considering foster home

Recalling her visit to the child at the hospital on Thursday, Tin said the girl is "coping well", "healthy" and "cheerful".

"I was shocked, to be very honest, because I regularly visit the centre," Tin said. "In my most recent visit, which was during Chinese New Year this year, I did not notice anything unusual. As a single parent, the father cared for the girl - but because their home was quite far away from the wet market stall, the father arranged for his daughter to live in the stall for the past 11 months.

"Please do not hesitate to reach out someone or some agency and seek help," she said, adding that false alarms may happen but are still acceptable.… so that actions can be taken… and help can be given in a timely manner."
