When nine children are snatched from a nursery school in South London, their distressed parents have no idea if they will ever see them again. The community in the surrounding area in shock. How could this happen right under their noses? No one in the quiet suburban street saw anything – or at least that’s what they’re saying.

This was supposed to be a crack Met. police team investigating the abduction of an entire East London nursery school (9 children only!) in a minibus. Don’t the police in this division know about CCTV cameras?For the most part, the characters sat around in the school and community centre waiting for something to happen. The writing was slow, using reported rather than direct speech which might have moved things along a…
