I have 2 children that I cannot see. They are in the detail, but when I try to find them to use them to pick up collectibles or mushrooms, they are not there. I do not even see the white circle that usually surrounds a villager that is selected. Anyone else have this issue?

Are you sure they are not under the tree or the staute?

No. When I click "done" on the detail screen I am brought to the fire pit area. No children, no white circle.

ooooo scary.....

I lost a child for a while, same thing, no white circle was showing -- I eventually found him just behind the sewing hut -- I also lost an adult who was fishing, they were gone for a long time but eventually he showed back up.

OMG, I am getting this same issue, I see him on detail but when I click done, which generally takes you to that villager, it just goes to one of the 3 huts. Could he have gone from nursing baby to child inside of one the huts during a rainstorm?

Good news! Both of my invisible children just turned 4 and now both are visible and can be selected and moved.

maybe they are shy lol, I will keep looking for my little sneaky boy lol!

I've had this a couple times, but mine disappear and reappear. They sneak off into the huts, sometimes I'll see them coming back out again but occasionally they'll be gone for hours. I know one dislikes rain, and runs off whenever it pours, but the other one just vanishes. Very odd.

Maybe our villagers are trying to form some sort of a secret society againist the holy hand. Maybe one day we will open the game and find our villagers demonstrating againist the cruelty of the great hand, rebelling and taking control of their village
