Six-year-old hero of the Katrina evacuation

Updated: 2005-09-07 09:40 Reports from parents of missing children are flooding in, said Mike Kenner,
of the centre, which has been asked by the United States Justice Department to
co-ordinate a missing persons process. With crowds choking staging posts for
evacuees, many have become separated from their sons and daughters.
In one case, a woman handed her baby up on to a bus only to turn back for her
suitcase and find the bus already gone.
The International Committee of the Red Cross website for Katrina victims has
almost 100,000 people trying to trace family members missing since the
hurricane. Overnight, the number of entries on the family links site rose from
65,000 to 94,000, a spokesman said yesterday. On the missing kids.com, the faces
of the seven children were yesterday still visible, some smiling, the younger
ones bemused or on the verge of tears.
But theirs is one of the happy stories - over their pictures, unlike all the
others surrounding them, is stamped the word "resolved".
