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.
