Not Found Project

We've all encountered that frustrating 404 error message Page Not Found. Now the European Federation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children has come up with an idea to utilize those 404 pages by posting details of missing children on them. The subjects are randomized to hit the 404 pages. You might see a child who went missing yesterday or, as in this case, a young man of 25 who went missing in 1999. The 116000 telephone number is the European hotline number reserved by the European Commission for missing children. Neither BBC News (CLICK) nor the Not Found Project website (CLICK) states whether this is a free phone number or not. It might be one of those damned premium rate numbers costing £4 a minute. I've emailed the Not Found Project to find out. I'll update this post if I receive a reply.
