The UK's missing refugee children

Hundreds of unaccompanied child asylum seekers have disappeared after arriving in the UK over the last three years, a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ investigation has found.
Every week, at least eight children went missing from local authority care last year - many are feared to have been trafficked by criminals to work in brothels, cannabis factories and private homes.
Refugee campaigners say trafficked children, or those at risk, are often being failed after reaching the UK, with local authorities not equipped to adequately protect and safeguard them.
