Please help. it will not cost you anything, just a minute of your time.

Ben was 21 months old when he vanished from outside the family farmhouse at Iraklis, a small mountain village on the Greek Island of Kos. A full search of the area was made but no trace of Ben was found. His Mother, Kerry, from England, was visiting her parents at the farmhouse at the time. To this day, Ben is still missing.

A group has been set up on Facebook to bring more awareness to Ben's disappearance, we need more members. IF YOU CAN HELP BY JOINING THE GROUP, PLEASE GO TO THE LINK:

Here is the link: www.facebook.com/helpfindben
Once the group page appears on your screen, just click on the "LIKE" button near the top of the screen.

Thank you for reading and helping. (posted over on chat too)

It may seem an impossible chance that Ben is still out there somewhere, but none of us, if it was our child, would give up hope would we? There was a case in the US of a kidnapped girl found 19 years later... worth a shot, certainly worth a signature :))

Sandie there is also

You can find there ( on 'more' click 'news' ...a letter example to copy to the Prime Minister if you wish to.

" So here is the challenge for the next 7 days! For as many people as possible to send a LETTER to the Prime Minister, asking him to take action and work with the Greek Authorities in re-opening the case, preferable with the help of UK Police."

for some reason the other thread which I nudged up yesterday has vanished?

There is a petition set up to try to persuade our government to request that the Greek Authorities relook at his case

http://ben777.epetitions.net/

There is a young man out there somewhere who is probably completely unaware that he has family searching for him, we need the facebook page, website and petition to keep spreading as who knows one day it may reach his facebook page or email box and there is potential that he may recognise himself, at the moment there are only 288 signatures on the petition and 1,218 people on the facebook, we need these numbers to be much higher.

He can be found!

Thanks
