Apologies for posting as a white woman.

Fatuma Kadir, an 11 year old girl from Bolton has gone missing. We all know how little attention is paid to missing people of colour, let’s make this girl’s name heard.

Saw this on the local news. So worrying. Only 11 years old and doesn’t know anyone in London.

I hope she’s found safe and well very soon. Her poor parents!

cherry2727 · 24/07/2021 00:20

Oh how sad for her family- hope she's found soon x

I am bumping this in the hope that more people will see it. Fatuma Kadir - you matter.

Another bump. This breaks my heart. I hope she is found safe and well

Ozanj · 24/07/2021 08:40

I hope they find her alive and well.

Lots of ‘casual’ racism on the other thread. I’ve retweeted everything again this morning. The more the name of Fatuma Kadir is used the more interest will be shown by mainstream media, let’s get this child trending. Apologies again for coming into this space but I can not make a change without being the change.

It’s just been on R4, so hardly being off ignored. She must be with someone surely - a child wouldn’t organise this (and pay for tickets) and just disappear surely. Can’t cameras at the station see if she met someone?

Her poor parents must be frantic.

Her poor parents. Bumping with photo.

That's not the point. The point is somone on here might know the black woman. Sonobe might have seen her in London. Can people just post on here without somonr like you. It's tiring 😫

Totally.

Hoping and praying she’s safe and returned to mum soon.

This must have a bigger coverage.

C130 · 24/07/2021 10:52

Hopefully she will be found safe and well.

Hdhdjejdj · 24/07/2021 13:22

It was the top story on our local news and they showed the police appeal with the parents, who are distraught. I hope it gets coverage in London now because chances are she’s still there.

RedMarauder · 24/07/2021 16:31

She's been found.

RedMarauder · 24/07/2021 16:31

She's fine and that's all the news being released now.

Orchidflower1 · 24/07/2021 17:31

Thank goodness she’s been found.

ChattyLion · 24/07/2021 18:19

Found thank god and on front page of BBC News.

I'm so pleased to hear she's been found! Good to have a happy ending.

Hdhdjejdj · 24/07/2021 19:51

Huge relief.

EchoNan · 25/07/2021 00:02

Thankful to hear that she is found.

Maggiesfarm · 25/07/2021 02:48

I read earlier that she was found. Thank goodness for her sake and for her parents' sakes, they must have been out of their minds.

She probably thought she was having a little adventure.

Despite the parents' relief, I bet they gave her a good telling off!

All's well that ends well. It could have been so much worse.
