BRIGHT yellow balloons were released into Harborough’s skies to mark International Missing Children’s Day.

Children from Little Bowden Primary School took part in the event yesterday (Wednesday), organised by missing children’s group Forever Searching.
Youngsters gathered on Little Bowden Recreation Ground to release balloons with tags attached giving the details of children still missing in the UK.
Forever Searching aims to actively raise awareness of missing children in the hope that they are traced and brought home to their parents. The group uses the colour yellow as it traditionally symbolises home-coming – historically yellow ribbons would be displayed when families were expecting the return of their loved ones.
The organisation came about following the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in 2007. As volunteers began their search for the Leicestershire three-year-old, it became apparent just how many children across the UK were missing. This sparked the need for greater public awareness of all missing children cases.
Event organiser and Harborough mum Maxine Harris became involved with Forever Searching after Madeleine’s case hugely raised the profile of missing children. Maxine, who also works with the McCann charity, said: “You should never give up searching. I’d like to think that if it was my child, others would never give up. It’s good to feel that you’re actively doing something to help.”
Money raised by the group is channelled into awareness events like the Little Bowden balloon launch and allows for pictures of missing children to be distributed around the world in the hope that the images will jog the memory of somebody somewhere.
It is estimated that up to 110,000 children go missing in the UK every year. Most are found within a week with 1 per cent becoming long-term missing after a year.

It gets me so mad when I see the words "McCann and Charity" together. Trading Standards should be looking at stories like this.

This message was sent to me via email with a bet that I wouldn't post it here:


I am Maxine Harris the same Maxine Harris that arranged the balloon event for
MISSING CHILDREN'S DAY at a local school!!! After seeing the heading of the
piece on the website I RANG THE REPORTER AND ASKED HIM TO CHANGE IT so although
Littlepixie may well have also rang - it wasn't her 'stiff phone calls' that did
it as it was done immediately after my phone call - sorry you can't take the
credit for that pixie - good try!!! They changed it when I told them to because
as you all to well know - Madeleine's fund is not a charity. I would've
thought that by now you would all know that you can't believe everything you
read in the papers and that they will add their own 'twist' to things to get
hits/sales!!!!! The actual heading in the printed paper was: "Never Let
Hope Lose It's Flight" - NO MENTION OF MCCANN!!!! As for the impact on
the children???? I fail to see your point. The headmaster and the school
teachers didn't see it as a problem and they know children a lot better than you
do - or, do you think held them at gun point and forced them and the children
to agree???? So a bit of advice, please take what you read - no matter where
you read it, with a huge pinch of salt - bless you all for being so gullible - I
dread to think what other conclusions you have come to through your naivety
............. but I can image????? I Bet you don't post this piece of truth
on your forum!!!!
