Three east London schoolgirls have flown to Turkey and there are fears they may cross the Syrian border and join the Islamic State terrorist group.
Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and an unnamed 15-year-old, pupils at Bethnal Green Academy, flew from Gatwick on Tuesday, during half-term.
Commander Richard Walton, of the Metropolitan Police, said he feared they were "extremely vulnerable".
The trio are friends with a fourth girl who travelled to Syria in December.
At the time the three girls were interviewed as her friends, police said.
Cdr Walton said the teenagers' families were "devastated" but there was a "good chance" the girls were still in Turkey.
They were last seen at their homes on Tuesday morning when they gave their families "plausible reasons" to be out for the day, police said.
Sorry, but hands up everyone who would let their 15 year old daughter travel with 2 other girls aged 15 and 16 abroad? WTF are the parents so f**king stupid? Perhaps the parents need lessons in parenting. Now I can see why we have to have an nanny state with cking idiots like the parents. Yeah like you need a passport for a day out? wtf.
