Child Trafficking: Scores Missing From UK Care Homes Trafficked children and unaccompanied child asylum seekers are going missing from UK care homes at an alarmingly high rate. Officials say about 600 children disappeared last year, with more than 200 still missing. Two charity organizations have called on the UK government and local authorities to reform the child protection system to reverse the trend. The Department for Education said it has commissioned specialist training for those caring for the children. SOURCE: BBC NEWS
