Girl goes missing from day centre

Corah was taken from the Stonehouse day care centre

Police are continuing to search for a two-year-old who went missing from a day care centre in Greater Manchester.

Detectives believe Corah Boyd may have been taken from her foster parents by her real mother, Rebecca Bushell.

Ms Bushell, 21, was at the Stonehouse Resource Centre on St Helens Road in Leigh on Friday afternoon.

Corah lives with her foster parents in the area, but police believe she was picked up by her natural mother, who then left the centre with her.

They were driven to the Abram area of Wigan, five miles away, but have not been seen since.

Growing concern

Detectives believe they may still be in the Wigan area.

Ch Supt Shaun Currie, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "There is nothing to suggest that Corah is in any physical danger.

"However, we do have concerns about her welfare and the longer she is missing the more concerned we, and her foster parents, are becoming.

"I would appeal to Rebecca to contact police in Wigan, either herself or through a third party.

White hooded top

"I understand her frustrations, especially as it nears Christmas, but we need to know that Corah is safe and well."

The toddler is 2ft 6ins tall with blond hair and brown eyes and was wearing a white hooded top and pink and white trainers.

Her natural mother is white, slim, with blue eyes and blond hair.

Police are urging anyone with information to contact them.
