I think that: We need to do more to highlight the plight of the 100,000 young people who go missing each year and put in place the necessary support and advice for young people in this situation.
Because: Research carried out by The Children’s Society, revealed that most of the 100,000 children who run away from home or care every year, do so because of problems at home, with girls age 14 -15 the group most likely to run. Runaways employ risky strategies to survive with one in six sleeping rough and one in twelve hurt or harmed. Whilst most don't run far from home, many end up sofa surfing or sleeping in stranger’s houses.
