A toddler has been found roaming the streets of an Essex town on her own late at night.
Police made house-to-house inquiries to try to find the parents of the girl, thought to be aged two or three, who was found in Westcliff, late on Monday.
She spent the night in the care of social services before her parents were found on Tuesday morning.
A 37-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man, both from Westcliff, have been arrested on suspicion of child neglect.
Officers said the girl was found by a member of the public in Genesta Road, just before 2300 GMT.
The toddler was described as black and has long plaited hair. Police said she did not appear to speak English.
The girl was dressed in purple leggings, a top and jacket.
