Youngsters missing loved ones release book A booklet compiled by families and friends of missing loved ones has been released. YOUNG people don't want to be left out of the loop if someone in their life goes missing. That's the main message of the "In The Loop" booklet, compiled by the families and friends of missing people, after 15 months of consultation. Launching the booklet on Friday, NSW Attorney-General Greg Smith said it reflected the thoughts, experiences, feelings and methods used by young people to deal with the loss of a loved one. "A recurring theme when the booklet was being developed was that young people don't want their families to protect them by withholding information or leaving them out of discussions about the disappearance," he said. In The Loop was released on the second last day of missing persons week. About 35,000 people - one every fifteen minutes - are reported missing every year. Almost all, about 95 per cent, are found within a short period of time.
