Police in Bristol have renewed their appeal to find a teenage girl who has been missing for more than a week.
The 15-year-old, called Madison, went missing last month and was found, but then went AWOL again in the last week of April, and this time has still not been found.
Police chiefs said they are worried she is vulnerable to being exploited, and called on everyone in Bristol to look out for her.

Avon and Somerset police first appealed to find her in the middle of April, and after seven days reported that she had been found. Then, on April 27, they issued another appeal saying that she had gone missing again.
Now, more than a week later, she has still not been found, and a fresh appeal has been made renewing a call for people to look out for her.
“While Maddie has previously gone missing, her carers have not heard from her for a week and are growing increasingly worried about her,” said Det Insp Stephen Baines. “We’re particularly concerned about the company she may be keeping and that others may look to exploit her. Maddie – people are worried about you. If you see this please phone us on 101,” he added.
Madison is from the Southmead area of Bristol and police said they are concerned for her welfare.
Madison is white, about 5ft tall and of average build with shoulder length brown hair. Anyone who sees her is asked to call 999 and provide the call handler with the reference 5222098703.
Anyone with information about where Maddie might be should call 101 quoting the same reference, a police spokesperson added.
