The family of a young girl who has not come home from school are growing increasingly concerned about her whereabouts.

Ruby Walsh, a pupil at Royton and Crompton School, was last seen in Piccadilly Gardens and KFC in Deansgate late last night (Tuesday).

In a desperate plea to find the 12-year-old from Coldhurst, her family have asked for the public’s help on Facebook posting that her phone has been switched off since the early hours and she has no money on her.

Her family said: “Please everybody share this as we are worried sick.”

They have also notified the police.
