Disappearing, departing, running away. A surfeit of children in Europe?

A study carried out by Terre des hommes in Belgium, France, Spain and Switzerland on the disappearance of unaccompanied foreign minors placed in institutions. The study has been conducted in 2008 and 2009. It's main value is that it deals with an issue which receives too little attention and aims to make visible children who had become invisible. The report of the study is based on comparison of the situation in four European countries receiving migrant children, and formulates a series of universal recommendations based on these observations.
