Thankfully this child has been found safe and well now but if you were local to the area and read this appeal would you have been keeping your eyes out for a male or female child?

No one would be looking at a boy in uniform and thinking they were the missing child.

This. And quite clearly from his photo he doesn't look even remotely female.

Good to hear.

Of course I would be looking for a girl based on that description. It wouldn’t occur to me to question that.

Given that schools are on record as "socially transitioning" pupils without telling their parents, yes, it probably is.

The police (or whoever gave them this false description) should be ashamed of themselves for putting this child’s life at risk.

Well, that’s exactly how this ideology works. They’d rather a child remain missing than ‘misgender’. They’d rather women be put at risk. They’d rather humiliate women by them having to undress in front of males. They’d rather people be put at risk by their health professionals not knowing a patient’s sex. They’d rather girls and women not be able to win at their own sports.

Everything, everything is worth it for for their obsession with pronouns and misgendering.

Has happened before on a few occasions near me where locals were struggling to know whether they were looking for a boy or a girl which caused numerous debates in the Police Scotland threads on social media. Thankfully this kid missing from the Liverpool area was found and is home.

From the description - girl.
From being on this board - boy.

But my biggest wtaf is the parents not knowing he was pretending to be a girl but the school did? Is that really true?

I hate these things - it's not the first time it has happened. Which is more important; to affirm this person's pronouns online, or to find them? I tend to think the second, a scary amount of ppl seem to think the first.

We had something like that happen locally. People being told to look out for a boy in school uniform. But the uniform was from the girls school. The picture of an obviously teenage girl with short hair. Lots of confused comments, lots of people calling the confused people bigots.

“School uniform, converse, colourful laces” describes at least half the kids in Glasgow, where I am. I’d be looking for a teenage girl with shoulder length hair and glasses and English accent. I would absolutely not call in to report that I had seen a teenage boy with shoulder length hair and glasses and English accent.

You wouldn’t discount an obvious male, haven’t been told that a girl was missing?
Yeah, sure.

I'd be looking for a child who matched that description.

This kind of madness is a pedophiles heaven. A 15 year old teenage boy with long hair looks like a teenage boy with long hair, not a girl. Same for makeup.

No one would be looking at a boy in uniform and thinking they were the missing child.

Didn’t the parents originally have an appeal which said “help us find our son” named Kieran as they didn’t know their child was identifying as female at school etc. So the appeal was changed once they were made aware, to only use the female descriptors.

Seeing their photo, if I was working in a shop and served that child then I’d definitely think I had served a male teenager. If I then read that appeal, I wouldn’t call in to say I’d seen them as it gives no indicated that the person was a male teenager.

Female but from your title I'm guessing he's a male
