One child goes missing in Istanbul, the largest city of Turkey, within an hour, police representative Murat Korcak said, according to Trend News.

Korcak said that this figure is rather low than it was several years ago.

He also added that 97 percents of missing children are the teenagers between 15-16, who ran away from homes mostly because of violence and only 3 percent are the children, who went missing because of other reasons.
