434 Missing Children

International_Missing_Children_by_deviantonis

This is a growing problem in Ireland, child trafficking is a serious human rights abuse that destroys childhoods. In 2008, nearly 400 separated children came to Ireland; 10% went missing, many of whom are likely to have been trafficked.  Since 2000, a total of 496 children placed in the care of the HSE have gone missing; the vast majority, 434 vulnerable children, remain missing. Why is it that the general public does not know the names of these children or even know what they look like?
