Dublin teenage girls going missing

vapor trails

Is this rate of young girls going missing in Dublin normal? Seems to be almost every day a new girl is gone missing. How long is it before the Gardai have to come out and make some sort of announcement about a potential mass abductor? If I had an outgoing teenage daughter I'd be very uneasy about the situation.

it's mostly running off with a boyfriend or some mental health issue rather that a serial obductor

Normally they turn up after a couple of days but that never gets the same level of publicity and tbh the lack of explanation numbs people to when there is actually an issue. Check Garda.ie for the current list of missing persons. Last time I checked a good portion of them were Chinese.

All very good looking girl. I wonder is there a Underground sex trade in Ireland ?

They were some in a level of care that up and left the county. They stay on the missing list until they are verified by the Gardai as not missing or safe but it never gets followed up on so they stay on the list.

It is unfortunately. They know the Gardai have to declare them missing and subsequent news headlines. Selfish sh!tty carry on.

A bit like when a new Chinese take away opens and all the cats start to go missing.

Mostly from 2008-2009. Recession or something.
They have a tendency to end it all if they fail,or is that the Japanese?

That's what I was wondering too, given that they are very close knit family orientated and not really much into wild lifestyles etc

Agreed to a point. The amount of youngsters I've seen as reported missing and then everything is ok a couple of days later. I've seen people rounded on, including on here, for having the audacity to ask what happened. Fair enough that absolute microscopic details aren't released obviously but for the messers and wanton nuisances, it just tells them that there's no consequences. "Ah shure nobody can even question us, come on it'll be gas."

Now the above is NOT a catch-all by any stretch but I'd say there's definitely people that have done it. Some for attention, some for the craic and some to teach someone a lesson.

Obviously hope all those missing turn up safe and well but it would be good to know why they go missing, that's the point I guess I'm trying to make.

Sure they're basically the same anyway.

Chinese people going missing is hardly a current "thing". The most recent case dates back to 2011.
I think there were Chinese criminal gangs operating here who preyed on Chinese nationals in Ireland. I suspect they might have something to do with all the missing Chinese people.

Most if not all of this is to do with the 48hr challenge game. Have to go 'missing' or could this just be ****faced somewhere over the Paddy's Weekend?

It's mostly children missing from care, I'd imagine. If they're not back by curfew it has to be reported.

Attention seeking.
They all come back grand after wasting Garda resources.

The 48-hour thing isn't really. Jesus.

I worked with a chap who was reported missing a couple of years ago.

He was on a stag do, major bender, went home with a girl despite having a fiance and kid at home. The lads on the stag saw them leaving together.

He became incredibly distraught the next morning, didn't know what to do, rented a b&b and stayed there drinking himself silly for a few days. He couldn't bring himself to go home and face the truth. Went completely off the rails.

Meanwhile his picture was shared far and wide on Facebook. I even saw Irish people in Australia sharing the post.

After a few days he came home to face the music. They broke up, he has given up alcohol and has turned his life around. He quit the job and took some time out for himself. He's back living with his folks, is working part time while going to college.

Every couple of months you still see people sharing the missing person post on Facebook. Initially the post wasn't set to public so people took a screenshot, and that's the image that gets shared rather than the original post - so he can't take it down.

People are quick to share and don't stop to look at how old a post is, or whether the person has been found, or even found dead.

If you Google his name the missing person photo comes up. He started dating a girl, who on their second date confronted him on it. It was an awkward conversation to say the least. I'd say job interviews are the same.

The poor chap is struggling to get his life back on track. Being a 'missing person' still haunts him.

I work with young people in care and if they don't return to the residential home they live in or cannot be contacted in 24 hours, the policy is they must be reported missing. I have seen similar articles about young people from residentials where we KNOW that they are with family or friends but policy is policy. I am not saying this is the case with the three young girls in the OP but only in one does it mention she is missing 'from home'.

whats annoys me is reading a missing persons report and they describe the person, shes medium height , brown hair, green eyes... and give no picture. ... pointless

EmmetSpiceland

Is it possible that some of these kids are going to meet up people they’ve met online and this is known to the Gardaí and their parents?

The level of public announcements and lack of missing persons posters always seemed odd to mr.

When FB got big around 2009 I saw people sharing a petition link demanding James Bulger's killers be kept in prison as they were only weeks away from being released.

They'd been released in 2001

You can file that with Momo, suicide games, burglars marking footpaths with chalk, and girls stabbing themselves to impress Justin Bieber. Urban legend nonsense.

It's worth remembering that probably as many youths were going missing in the days before social media but the means wasn't there to report it wiely. Perhaps even more- presumably there were more people aged 13- 17 in the 90's and the first decade of this century, when the vast majority of childbearing women would have about four children in her lifetime, compared to now where most 15 year olds probably only have a single sibling.
