Today marks 14 days since six year Joshlin Smith has been reported missing. On Sunday, Western Cape police announced that they had widened the search for Joshlin by sending drone operators and search and rescue dogs to the area.

We find out how social media has done this and why this should be avoided from my guest, Bianca van Aswegen, Missing Children South Africa’s National coordinator.
