The child snatchers

Do you reckon that a few arsehole’s arseholes are beginning to pout a bit?

I mean, it is extremely strange for the Monkey Boys to report on the huge number of children that go missing from care homes every year:

Almost 5,000 children  – including babies – have disappeared from council care in the past two years, new figures have revealed.

Nineteen babies have vanished for months at a time, and one infant – just a few months old – has still not been found two years later.

The figures have been unveiled under a freedom of information request.

They show that 4,852 looked-after children were reported missing between January 2012 and December 2013, the Sunday Times reports. 

There were 24,320 cases logged – as many disappeared more than once. The large majority were teenagers but dozens of those who disappeared were between four and nine years old. 

The number includes a one-year-old girl missing since July 2013.  Source

I would like to see that FOI request since it is readily agreed by the government that over 100,000 children go missing in ENGLAND every year alone, 10,000 of them from children’s homes or foster care. 

Never the less, according to Kent County Council Cabinet Minister Peter Oakford:

When a child goes missing, we work closely with the police to find the child but we also need the government and other authorities to help us to address these wider issues including breaking down international trafficking networks which can lead to vulnerable children going missing.

Really?

You see, according to the government:

It is impossible to know the true extent of the problem due to erratic data collection. The Department for Education (DfE) recorded 930 instances of children going missing from care, but police data shows an estimated 10,000.

There are various possible reasons for this discrepancy. Local authorities only have to report on children for whom they have parental responsibility, so this does not include children placed in their area from another authority. The DfE statistics only record children who went missing for more than 24 hours. There are also problems with the quality of data collected on trafficked children.

You don’t actually work that closely with the odd bod plod squad then Peter?

And just so as we can be clear here Pete, just tell us again about those children who have been “trafficked”:

We also the government and other authorities to help us to address these wider issues including breaking down international trafficking networks which can lead to vulnerable children going missing.

Can it now?

You see, being as Peter Baby says that most trafficked children come through Kent, you would have thought that he would have been aware of the huge statistic of trafficked children who go missing from care every year – most never to be seen again:
