    Hopefully she is found safe and sound. Out of interest when they find missing kids are they on the street or would they be hiding with friends? These articles appear every few days so there just seems to be a lot of missing people out there.

    @Louise Tracey: I’d imagine different incidents have different answers for that question. More people check missing articles than found articles as well so that’s why it seems like there’s a lot more than there actually are.

    @Louise Tracey: having worked in social services, many of them are off with friends and come back voluntarily and unharmed. In saying that, we can never assume and we have all seen some of the horrendous scenarios last month.

    @Nucky: Not explicitly, but every time we have an article like this, people are always moaning that they’re not being given all the details and getting closure on the story, when it’s actually nothing to do with them. Why does everyone feel such an entitlement to be told everything nowadays?

    @Tom Tom: Perhaps because we are asked to be on the look out for the missing , common courtesy would be to inform us that they have been found .
    It’s not entitlement , it’s respect for people who may be concerned .

    @Nucky: Really Nicky? You’ve gleaned that gem from a handful of posts? You are clearly very perceptive. Maybe you could use that super power to figure out the outcome in this case.
