	&ldquo;Since 2008 there have been over 30,000 missing children reports in Ireland so it is vital that the public is aware that the 116 000 service is in operation,&quot; said Ashley Balbirnie, CEO of the ISPCC.</p>

	&quot;The short movie shows a tragic scenario of a young girl who has run away and the key message behind the video is that when you think you have nowhere left to run, you still have somewhere left to turn.&quot;</p>

	The video was launched today to coincide with Ireland&rsquo;s inaugural Missing Persons Day, which commemorate those who have gone missing and recognise the lasting trauma for their families and friends.</p>
