TWO missing schoolboys are back home safe today . . . thanks to the Bolton Evening News.
Damian David Laing, and Brian Farr, both aged 10, were found at Rivington after a man recognised them from pictures published in the BEN last night.
Damian, of Hibernia Street, and Brian, of Romiley Crescent, both Bolton, were reported missing by their head teacher at Stocks Park School, Horwich on Wednesday afternoon. It is the second time in weeks that the boys have run off together.
They are both believed to be back at the school today.
Brian's mother, June Donnally, said: "I was so relieved to see him back again. I had done nothing else but cry.
"I kept thinking I was going to get bad news.
"I kept him beside me all last night and watched him get on the school van this morning."
