London - Pictures of missing children are to be posted on to a new police website in a pioneering venture to track them down. Last year around 80,000 children were reported missing in the Metropolitan Police area alone. Many cases were cleared up within hours, but 80 remained outstanding at the end of the year. The site, to go live on December 18th, can be located at: www.missingkids.co.uk.
