Wasn't exactly sure where to put this, but came across it and thought it would be a good topic for here...

The details of 70 children who have gone missing from schools in Bradford over the last three years have been posted on a Government database after all investigations to trace them failed.

But 70 children could not be traced after visits to their last known address, attempts to contact their extended family and inquiries to find alternative addresses with bodies including West Yorkshire Police and benefits agencies.

“We need an explanation for why these children are missing.

“There are children who get sexually exploited in Bradford, a worrying number, and we need to make sure these children are not prey to people who do not have their best interests at heart.”

If I remember correctly, Bradford has a large Asian area. Arranged marriages, perhaps? IMO
 
According to Wiki (and the 2001 census) 22.1% of Bradfordians are British Asian, third largest percentage of South Asian population in England and Wales, "the central wards of Bradford Moor, City, Little Horton, Manningham and Toller having large majority Asian populations."
