LONDON-metropolitan police admit they have few new leads in the disappearance of the young girl, Kali Prasad, who was reported missing several days after she was last seen, Saturday the 12th.
The girl's disappearance shines a light on the growing epidemic of the many thousands of children under the age of 18 reported missing this year in the UK.
A recent London police report indicated the number of missing children is on the rise across the UK. A law enforcement official urged the public be mindful of their children's whereabouts, and the many complex reasons children go missing.
*The fact is: thousands of children are reported missing from their homes or from care in the UK every year. It's one of the underreported tragedies of city living in the 20th century. Some children leave their places of safety willingly, many do not. Particularly in missing child cases, the first 24 hours are the most likely to yield results and locate the child. Unfortunately, Kali's 24 hours are past, but London Police have not given up hope.
At least one neighbor believes she'll see Kali again. "I know she's alive. I know it. I feel it in my bones.
That girl was stubborn from the day she was born, and if she's fallen down somewhere or been taken, it'll take more than a little adversity to keep her low for long. We'll hear from her again, you can bet on it."
If you have seen Kali Prasad, or have any information regarding her whereabouts, please contact the London Police Service, Metropolitan Police Service, or the National Crime Agency.
