The concept of missing children is comparatively less acknowledged among people in Pakistan though the problem of missing children is a serious and growing one. This is partly because of the lack of understanding missing children and their documentation in the relevant departments, which lead to the less information dissemination on this issue.
Generally speaking, missing children is a very wide topic encompassing children who due to various factors / reasons runaway from home against the wishes of and without informing their parents of their decision. Secondly they also include those children who due to their age or naivety become lost and can not find their way home. Kidnapped children (either for ransom, sell or revenge) are those who are taken against their will by an individual or group of individuals trying to use them as a commodity. |
