Children run away at younger age, says charity
Children are running away from home at a younger age, putting themselves at risk, a children's charity says.
The Children's Society says its centres around the UK are increasingly helping pre-teens who have run away.
It says 100,000 children run away from home or care every year and many sleep rough, abuse drink or drugs and face sexual exploitation.
