Missing Children

In the UK a child is reported missing every three minutes.  That's around 140,000 every year, and most of these are not mentioned in the press.  The UK Missing Kids website maintains a list of missing children, many of whom have been missing for decades.  There are nine children listed that went missing in 2007, and are still missing.  Can you name two of them?

Some of the UK's missing have run away, some have been taken abroad by parents, some are involved in human trafficking, some end up on the streets, and some end up dead.  Looking out for the missing  and helping those on the streets is something we need to be doing, because it's rare that any of them get publicity.  You only ever hear about the white ones.


 While some of the missing in the USA version of this video were found, at least one was murdered by  the child's mother.  The UK version of this video featured two of Peter Tobin's victims.

Don't have nightmares.
