Seriously?! Police are issuing an appeal TEN MONTHS after she went missing?!

They're not releasing her name in case she has changed her identity ?! Even if she has, surely no harm in saying what she had previously been known as?!

She was getting in a taxi by herself?!

The only photo of her looks like it was taken in the 1930s?!

No grieving frantic parents?!

Issuing a public appeal "as a last resort"?!

This has been bugging me all day... if she was white, and blonde haired and blue eyed like a certain "missing" child we'd never hear the end of it. Poor poor girl :((( Failed by the Police.

I expect she (and whichever parent/relative has taken her) are now abroad somewhere.

X post with Bibbity. That's good news.

Sorry folks, but it looks like the OP is a PBP, and it's likely the thread wasn't started with the best of intentions. We're going to remove it soon. Flowers.

FIrst thought is she’s probably being trafficked

Mmm, i wondered that and maybe briefly in care? Judging from that photo, I’d guess she hasnt lived in the UK all that long.

You do have to read between the lines. Most importantly, lets hope she’s found safe.

Oh sorry - didn’t read the sexond page. So glad she’s been found.

But Caroline, what's wrong with sharing/discussing news? That's what the police wanted, publicity, isn't it?

Thanks for that info.
Glad the kids been found. I suspect its a domestic case, Father vs Mother.

Very distressing and truly puts my own problems into some kind of perspective.
