(I hope I dont get told off for posting this on this board but I know many of you are interested in mispers). An astonishing amount of people, both adults and children, go 'missing' in England and Wales every single year. Most return home within days at the most; some make the decision to start a new life; and some simply vanish. In certain cases, usually little girls, the media are very interested - big headlines, reward money, press conferences. But what for the other missing people? The press quickly lose interest, and that's if they ever got involved in the first place. Chillingly, a minority of 'mispers' seem to vanish off the face of the earth without a trace. In this small country, how is it possible? And why does no-one care? I decided to set up this basic site as a tribute to those lost. http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=6169448443

This will work. Genes have automatically made a space between the first two slashes, which shouldn't be there.

I just took a look at the website, I couldn't believe so many people go missing from home, the ages differ so much, some very young, and middle aged or older.
It must be so difficult for their families too.

How sad, amazing to think in this day and age someone can still vanish without a trace, prayers for all those connected to these families. x

Eileen, if you copy and paste (right click on mouse) it should work. Just realised you've deleted your posts, hopefully its sorted now.

If anyone's passing through Liverpool Street station (London) tomorrow, there will be missing childrens placards up. At least 2 of the children featured have previously received very minimal publicity.
