10 year old boy missing in West Midlands

[Shaniece]

I don't have a link but just wondered if anyone had heard anything? Just said on the news - The boys name is Ben Smythe.

Sky News

Hope he is just staying away somewhere - it was a very cold night if he was sleeping out, and the alternative doesn't bear thinking about

oh god

Fingers crossed for him.

God its every parentsnightmare eh? His poor family.

At 10 you have to start letting them have SOME independance but it sure makes you want to mollycoddle them a bit more when this sort of thing happens.

I hate sky news.

"Sky News' David Crabtree is in Bromford and said the police operation to find Ben "does not appear to be" on the same scale as the hunt for Shannon Matthews
who disappeared in West Yorkshire last month.". so drawing comparisons already I see.

Found safe and well - on BBC

Oh thank goodness!

(Website update timed at 2.30pm - 3pm news on R2 still said he was missing - do they not speak to each other? )

phew

thank god they found him-but where WAS he for 19 hours?
