ORANGEBURG, SC (WIS) - Orangeburg authorities say they found a 4-year-old child wandering along a road Thursday, and they're trying to find her family.

Orangeburg Department of Public Safety Capt. Mike Adams tells the Times and Democrat they found the girl around 9:50am Thursday on Ellis Avenue.

Adams says the girl says her first name is Solitha, but she doesn't know her last name, or where she lives.

"She doesn't know her parents' names or grandparents or where she lives. We have very little information on the child. She did state her mother had gone to work," Adams told the T and D.

Adams says police are conducting a "reverse 911," where emergency operators call local residents asking for help.

Adams said the child was found in the Fairfield Streets and Ellis Avenue areas by a driver who spotted the child wandering.

Solitha was wearing a gray shirt and purple pants, with flip-flops. Adams says she has white beads in her hair, and was carrying a Dora the Explorer water bottle.

Anyone who may have information is asked to contact the Orangeburg authorities at 803-534-2812 or 803-533-5907.
