MISSING GIRLS TRACED
NOT LIKE SYDNEY NO BOGUS THEATRE MANAGERS “Twenty Girls Missing" ran a cable message from Sydney yesterday. Fortunately Auckland is free from this kind of thing. A police officer stated this morning that from time to time wayward girls leave home without explanation, but they are usually traced by the police and returned to their parents. There has not been one instance for many years of the police being unable to trace the whereabouts of a missing girl. In some instances where girls hare run away from homes without the knowledge or permission of their parents they appear at court and are committed to various homes. Occasionally the girls abscond from these homes, but it is not long before they are traced and returned. When a girl disappears from her home parents usually immediately inform the police, and a description of the missing person is given to the newspapers. The police spend a good deal of time in tracing these missing persons. It has been suggested that many of the girls w’ho are missing in Sydney have been lured away from home by bogus theatrical managers, but New Zealand is free from this variety of pest.
