The mum of a missing 13-year-old girl has issued an urgent appeal to the public to help find her girl.

Ruby Wallwork was last seen at around 11pm on Friday night in the Kearsley area of Bolton. She was reported missing at 8am on Saturday morning and has now been missing for over 24 hours. Ruby’s mum, Amy Bell, has issued a desperate plea and said her family “just want her back home safe with us where she belongs”. Police have said they are “becoming increasingly concerned” for the teenager’s wellbeing and safety as the 13-year-old has been described as “vulnerable” by her family.

Greater Manchester Police issued a social media appeal for information about the missing teenager on Sunday. Anybody with information has been urged to come forward to the cops. Images of the teenager have also been shared.

The British Transport Police are also involved in this search, as it is believed she could have caught a train, according to Manchester Evening News.

DEMAND ACTION FOR MISSING PEOPLE

Too many missing people are falling through the cracks – harmed while away, and ignored when they return.

We need a proper government strategy led by the Home Office, Education, and Health departments to stop this crisis.

Right now, there’s no real support. People go missing again and again – yet no one’s asking why.

We’re calling for:

  • A new national strategy for missing children and adults
  • Proper support for missing people when they return
  • Investment to stop people going missing in the first place

At 10,000 signatures, the government has to respond. At 100,000, it will be debated in Parliament. That’s our goal – real action.

You can help by signing our petition here.

Mum Amy said: “Ruby is a vulnerable young girl, our family miss and care about her so much. We just want her back home safe with us where she belongs.”

In a statement on Sunday, GMP said: “Our officers in Salford are becoming increasingly concerned for a teenage girl who has been missing for more than 24 hours. Ruby Wallwork, 13, was last seen at around 11pm on Friday (6/6/25) on Ellesmere Close in Kearsley and reported missing at around 8am the following day.”

Police chiefs based in Salford said a team of officers was currently “out looking for her” while CCTV footage is being analysed and her friends are being spoken to.

Detective Chief Inspector Helen Bagnall said: “If anyone has any information, no matter how small, or thinks they may have seen Ruby, we would urge them to contact us. We have a team of officers out looking for her and we desperately want to bring her home to her family.

FAMILIES OF THE MISSING

Missing people: Facts and Myths

Every year, 170,000 people vanish in the UK – that’s one person every 90 seconds. Fortunately, most return home within a few days, often without the need for a public appeal.

For adults over 18, going missing isn’t illegal, but the police will want to ensure their safety. If there are concerns for their welfare, a public appeal might be launched. Importantly, you don’t need to wait 24 hours to report someone missing. If their absence is unusual, contact the police immediately. Any child who goes missing will be looked for by police though they are not often given public facing appeals.

How the Missing People charity Supports Families

Missing People works closely with the police to amplify missing appeals and provide vital support to families. They offer practical help in searches and emotional support to those affected. If you need assistance or want to see your loved one’s appeal on the Missed map, call their Helpline on 116 000. It’s free, confidential and non-judgemental. They are also there to listen if you are thinking of disappearing or have already left.

The Role of Public Appeals

Not all missing cases are made public. In situations involving domestic abuse or severe mental health issues, publicity might do more harm than good. That is one reason why you will only see a fraction of missing cases on the Missed map.

When sharing appeals, it’s crucial to use the official channels from the Missing People website or via the share button on the Missed map. This ensures that once the person is found, all traces of the appeal are removed, respecting their privacy. The Mirror is committed to removing digital footprints of shared appeals, ensuring the missing person’s right to be forgotten is upheld.

By sharing official appeals, you help protect the privacy and dignity of those who have been found.

“Officers have been trying to locate Ruby by reviewing CCTV, speaking to her friends and family, and checking known addresses. It is believed she may have caught a train so we are also working with neighbouring forces and British Transport Police.

“Anyone with information should contact our team on 0161 856 5224. Alternatively call 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, quoting log 885-070625, or via the reporting tools on our website.” No further details about her disappearance have been revealed.
