Hopefully found safe and well soon

So frightening to think where they might be… fingers crossed they will be found safe and sound soon.

This is a real fail for BBC with their supposed investment in local news - there’s nothing on their regional news website, let alone the national page.
But Sky and ITN are reporting prominently along with the national and local papers. Hope it helps find the kids quickly.

I’m not sure what further verification they need than an official statement from the Metropolitan Police.

I so hope they are found safe and well.

Hope they are found safe and sound 🙏 although I must raise the question; at that young age and in the front garden which I’m guessing is probably not going to be enclosed and might be near a road of some sort, why did they leave them out there an hour by themselves before checking on them?!

I live very near there and I don’t think there are any houses with front gardens in Cowley Road. It’s mostly blocks of flats. It’s a bit confusing and not clear where they would have been, knowing the road.

Okaaaay · 07/05/2022 23:34

Hope they are found very soon and in the meantime are together. Love to their family who must be absolutely out of their minds 😥😥

justamumseekingadvice · 07/05/2022 23:34

@NotAnotherUserNumber yeah I think there’s definitely more to the story, just hope they are with someone safe and not someone who is going to harm them in anyway.

hellrabbitishere · 07/05/2022 23:35

the daily mail have them featured in an article under breaking news

hellrabbitishere · 07/05/2022 23:36

just ignore me , realised thats the same article the op has put up a link to duh

ValerieMorghulis · 07/05/2022 23:39

Oh dear - hope they are found safe and well, and very soon!

tillytown · 07/05/2022 23:40

Why aren't they putting out the actual place the kids went missing from? There are no front gardens on the Cowley.
Hope the little angels are found soon

It may not be on TV because the parents aren't doing an appeal - they haven't released the surname either which seems unusual. I do hope it's a good outcome.

Yes something is up. Or something not being said. There is a lot of CCTV in that area. Hard to avoid. Hopefully it’s turned up leads already.

Such gorgeous children. I hope they’re okay and not frightened.

Google maps shows flats one side but mews style hoses with small front gardens the other. The gardens appear to be enclosed with a wall, and then railings beyond that.

All the blocks have front gardens, Poirot. Maybe leave your amateur sleuthing for cases where the stakes are lower, eh?

praying those children are found soon 🙏

It's on all the news sites except the BBC which is always slower as they wait for more verification than other sites.

I don't know why but from how it has been reported I assumed it's a custody case?

Hmm. Or “something”. Not quite sure but it reminds me of the way the William Tyrell case was initially reported.

AintNoPartyLikeANumber10Party · 07/05/2022 23:47

Well the bbc are now reporting it on Twitter- just seems no one on the web team can be arsed to update their news feed…

StageRage · 07/05/2022 23:47

I live fairly locally.

It has been on all the main news websites for several hours.

The police helicopter had been out for hours.

Local people were out looking straight away.

It is nonsense that it is being ignored / downgraded.

Anyway, fingers tightly crossed: local Fb groups are reporting them found. But can’t find any verified link.

Careful, you are wading into victim blaming territory.

NotAnotherUserNumber · 07/05/2022 23:53

@Comefromaway those are the back gardens of the mews houses at the bottom of the road. They aren’t on Cowley Road.
Not that it matters… I assume police have all the correct details and know where they need to be looking.

Hopefully they will be found safe soon. Its scary to think of such small children wandering around here so late at night.

BorisJohnsonatemyhampster · 07/05/2022 23:54

Praying they are found soon. I remember that feeling of realising you’ve not heard the kids making noises for a while and wondering why…makes the blood run cold. Probably felt it was safer they were together in the front yard because if something happened to one, the other would run in and tell you. I know I’ve been more lax when one of my kids have been with a friend. Let’s hope they’re found soon.

I just saw this on Twitter. Hope it’s true!

People (residents etc) involved in the search have heard from the police in the estate that the children have been found safe.

Also, reports that they were on the flats landings / access , not garden.
