Countries must work together to find missing children

A CHARITY founder said Kate McCann faced an uphill struggle in her attempt to improve how police across Europe respond to reports of missing children.

Catherine Meyer, who formed Parents and Abducted Children Together (Pact), said different methods of policing made creating a trans-Europe policy difficult.

Ms Meyer, whose charity is dedicated to raising awareness of abducted children, said Europe was 20 years behind the US on the issue.
