Disappearing is a warning sign': The important steps after a missing child is found
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Each year around 70,000 children go missing in the UK, and while most are eventually found, the real crisis often lies in the circumstances that drove them to disappear in the first place. A safe return home is only the beginning. What matters just as much is understanding why a child went missing and ensuring it does not happen again. The reasons are varied and often complex. Some young people vanish because they are struggling with mental health problems."
The Independent covers major issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, investigating financials and producing documentaries to illuminate key stories. The outlet operates without paywalls and relies on reader donations to fund reporters on the ground and make journalism widely accessible. Around 70,000 children go missing in the UK each year, with causes ranging from mental health struggles to abuse, grooming, and exploitation. SafeCall is a proposed free service co-designed with young people and Missing People to provide confidential advice, guidance and routes to safety, with a £165,000 fundraising target to launch the service.
