Question

How many children are lost each year in the UK ?

Answer 1

Children can be classed as any age from 0 to18. Older children may account for the majority , as they 'run away'. I doubt many young kids go missing in comparison.

If you had a young child go missing, wouldn't you go to the media, do ANYTHING (and I mean ANYTHING), no matter through what circumstances they've gone, to try to get help getting them back.

Answer 2

Too many.  But most run away from home or are abducted by a family member. There are very few abductions by strangers.

Answer 3
