Runaways: How can we help? 13 Apr 2006
Each year tens of thousands of children run away from home. Now the Children's Society is hoping that we here in Britain can learn from the Americans on how best to help them. A delegation from the Society has just returned from Chicago where they visited the head quarters of the National Runaways Helpline. In America there is a special service just for runaways, we'll be asking if that's something we need here in Britain.

Jenni Murray talks to Martin Houghton Brown,Policy Advisor from the Children's Society and Carl Hillier who ran away as a teenager.
