Every 90 seconds a child or adult in the UK is reported missing, the majority due to mental health, sexual exploitation and abuse.
Many feel suicidal and face new risks whilst away. Their families experience the worst of all losses. No news. No clues. No hugs this Christmas.

Linda and her parents lived in limbo, experiencing ambiguous loss.
