Maddie Thomas: Three men arrested on suspicion of abduction after missing girl found by police at address in Bristol

1. ‘Three men have been arrested on suspicion of child abduction after a missing 15-year-old girl was found by police at an address in Bristol.’

2. Interesting legal point: If they’re charged she can then no longer be named (ever, unless she waives the anonymity when shes 18), so expect this story to become “three men charged with abducting 15 year old girl”.

3. Wonder what the men’s names are.

4. I really hope she is ok

5. The usuals no doubt

6. Why is there no mention of *how* they found her?

7. [removed]

8. Good work by the police/detectives for finding her. Must be super hard to find kidnapped people. Hope shes okay

9. I wonder if this is a new tactic the police are trying to deal with grooming situations? If after a couple of weeks they have no luck finding the girl they release her details to the press along with she may have been kidnapped. It would hopefully scare the crap out of the people controling her, and make her publicly visible and too much of a risk to keep hold of.
