THE family of Shannon Matthews were yesterday facing the pain of not having her home for Easter. As her siblings enjoy Easter eggs and the school holidays, she has still not been reunited with her loved ones.
The nine-year-old is in the care of Kirklees Family Services on a voluntary basis. Her mother Karen, 32, stepfather Craig Meehan, 22, and siblings Tony, 11, Cameron, five, and Courtney, two, are trying to celebrate Easter without her at home in Dewsbury Moor, Yorkshire.
Shannon disappeared on 19 February and was eventually found less than a mile from her home 24 days later.
Karen Matthews' cousin Susan Howgate, said:
"I hoped to buy her a Easter egg, but we don't know how long she'll be away."
