[West Ender]

Any comment of mine, in this case, can't bear a lot of weight because, just like everyone else, I don't know all the facts. One thing niggles in my mind, though. The child disappeared on the way home from school, in school uniform, but she was wearing totally different clothes when found. Also neighbours are reported to have said they heard a child laughing in the flat.

Now for my own bit of mindless, possibly irrational prejudice. I never liked the look of the mother and I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her.
