Fears of trade in children as 300 boys disappear

#7  Final paragraph from the article:
The Met's recent Paladin child investigation found hundreds of unaccompanied children arrive in Britain each month.

D'you think that might be a starting point for the investigation? Who is sending these children/ who is picking them up at the airport/ are any of the latter habitual picker uppers?

C'mon, guys -- on all the BBC shows the police brilliantly solve even the most horrible crimes... so this shouldn't tax their ability!

The sad thing is, when I went to the link there was an ad with Michael.

Scary......

#4  I remember that case - they found the headless corpse, mutilated in other ways.

#3  Appears some folks are having trouble "assimilating" maybe? Although it appears they aren't so attached to the old country that they'll pass up the chance to go on the government tit.
Stay tuned on this nightmare...

#2  From the article:

'Scotland Yard today revealed it has been unable to trace all but two of 300 black boys aged four to seven reported missing from school in a three-month period.

Child welfare experts say the number highlights the scale of the trade in children brought to Britain as domestic servants and covers for benefit fraud.

The figure emerged through the murder inquiry following the discovery of a child's torso in the Thames in September 2001. The identity of the victim, named "Adam" by police, is not known but his background was traced to Nigeria, it is believed he died in a ritual sacrifice. '

#1  Wow! You mean you can trade in your children for a newer model? Thank God they did not have that while I was a kid!

How about rebates? Return policy?

Too bad someone is setting "trade-in's" loose....

(No I haven't read the article because I can't - the website doesn't work with Firefox....)
