A probe launched after the disappearance of Daniel Aruebose and Kyran Durnin is now trying to determine whether close to 24,000 children are safe and well.

“The public has a right to know if there is another Kyran or Daniel," said Tanya Ward, chief executive of the Children's Rights Alliance, who is chairing the independent steering group overseeing the probe.
