Javian Matthews, 15, has been missing from 
Tottenham, north London since 21 February this year. He has not been seen or heard from since and his whereabouts are a complete mystery.
Last month his image was projected on Marble Arch to mark International Missing Children’s Day, along with images of Madeleine McCann and 15-year-old Samantha Osborn.
Update: After posting this story, I was informed that Javian had been found (see comments).
In memory of those who are still missing.
Quite often, I see hand-written/photocopied flyers plastered to walls, bus stops, etc in Istanbul detailing missing kids. In these parts, the Police are poorly equipped to deal with such cases. The burden of finding missing kids often falls to the family and friends of the kids involved. Their chances of success are, needless to say, quite low….
Excellent news, Javian has been found. I have had this email from Missing People:
I have just seen your latest missing case.
Javian Matthews was found on 25 May 2007.
Some websites have out of date information on them. We have noticed SKY news site has 5 cases that have now been found. http://news.sky.com/skynews/madeleine
Javian was found the day after his image was projected on Marble Arch and media coverage. I have no idea if there is a connection and if it helped reunite him with his family, I would assume it did.
How nice to read a happy ending!
