LONDON - Some 200 children who were seeking asylum in the UK went missing after they were placed in hostels run by the government, the Home Office minister admitted Monday in official testimony. Speaking at the House of Lords, Simon Murray said many of the missing children were later tracked down and found, The Guardian reported. The disclosure came after The Observer, The Guardian's sister daily, reported that a whistleblower from a hostel in the seaside city of Brighton, run by the Home Office, claimed that some children had been abducted outside the hotel and forced into cars. "The Home Office have no power to detain unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in these hotels and we do know that some of them go missing," he added, adding that many "are subsequently traced." Answering a question from Liberal Democrat peer Paul Scriven, Murray added that one girl and at least 13 under-16s were among those missing after being placed in hotels run by the Home Office. H
