POLICE say a 13-year-old Boronia girl missing since Thursday may have run away, despite a good relationship with her parents.

Siriyakorn ``Bung'' Siriboon was last seen by mother Vanidda and father Fred Pattison on Thursday morning when she went to off to school at 8.20am. They notified police when she failed to return in the afternoon.

Bung did not turn up for school, but her parents were not informed.

The teen walked the same 10-minute route to Boronia Heights College every day, her father said.

The girl is still missing today, (6) days and I believe that her father is Thai and still in Thailand. It would be very hard for a young girl who speaks little english to move across the world to a strange land. She is away from her friends and the culture she knows. It would be interesting to know what inquiries they have made with her father and thai authorities. This topic should really be on the main forum who knows some farang living in Thailand may just have heard something in the local villages. Hope she is found very soon as a Melbourne winter can be extreemly cold.

She was last seen by her parents leaving for school about 8am but the teenager did not make it there.

Police and Siriyakorn's family are very concerned for her welfare as it is out of character for her to disappear.

Siriyakorn's father, Fred Pattison has distributed posters in and around Boronia and has been on Melbourne radio appealing for information on his missing daughter.

She has been missing two (2) weeks now. The Homicide squad is now involved in the investigation. Her family in Thailand must be frantic also.

A MISSING girl's secret online life has emerged as a key clue to her disappearance as the homicide squad joins the investigation.

Siriyakorn "Bung" Siriboon, 13, had three Facebook sites - some under false identities - and was active elsewhere on the web in the weeks before she vanished from Boronia on June 2.

Her heavy use of social networking sites will be a focus of the hunt.

Homicide detectives have been called into Siriyakorn's case, two weeks after she disappeared.

Her family is known to have been worried about her meeting new people on the internet before she vanished.

Searchers today will scour an area of Boronia near the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges.

Siriyakorn disappeared on her way to school and police believe it is increasingly unlikely she has run away. Det Sen-Constable Ian Brown, of Knox CIU, said: "Because of her age and the time that's gone, we're extremely concerned for her welfare."

Stepfather Fred Pattison said there was no sign Siriyakorn was going anywhere in the days before she vanished.

"We're worried. We want her home," he told the Herald Sun.

"We hope if she is with someone, they're taking care of her as we would at home. We are a family. We love her. She's deeply missed.

"It's a good home. We love her as much as we could love anyone."

Her mother Vannida said she was clinging to hope.

"We believe she's all right. She will come back soon," she said.

In the time she has been missing, she has missed several events that she was looking forward to attending.

Among them were a school football match on the day after her disappearance and a Rock Eisteddfod practice session on June 5.

Sen-Constable Brown said investigators had found no sign of trouble in Siriyakorn's life.

She moved to Australia about three years ago from Thailand and had adapted well.

"She was very popular, very happy," Sen-Constable Brown said.

"No one's said a bad word about her."

Siriyakorn's family has spent every day walking the streets, putting up flyers and knocking on doors hoping to find any piece of information.

Siriyakorn was last seen when she left the family home in Elsie St on June 2 for classes at Boronia Heights College. The walk, which she did each day, took about 10 minutes. She did not arrive at school.

Siriyakorn is about 154cm tall, slim, and has long black hair.

Detectives investigate failed kidnap near where Bung Siriboon went missing

A MASKED man tried to lure a young girl into his car today just streets away from where a missing Boronia teen was last seen. Detectives are investigating whether there are any links between the two incidents.

They have also probed whether there is any connection between the disappearance of Boronia teen Siriyakorn "Bung'' Siriboon, 13, and the 1991 abduction and murder of schoolgirl Karmein Chan.

Homicide Squad head Det-Insp John Potter said investigators did not believe there was a link to Mr Cruel and the 20-year-old case.

No suspects have been identified in the disappearance almost a month ago.

Detectives fear Bung has been abducted and Insp Potter said murder was a possibility.

They are now desperate for fresh information.

Det-Insp Potter said detectives were looking into whether there was any link between Bung's disappearance and the incident about 8.45am today in Bennett St, near the intersection of Albert Avenue

The 11-year-old girl was on her way to school when a man in a dark green Holden station wagon allegedly tried to entice her into the car. She ran from the scene.

Bung was last seen when she left her family home in Elsie St - just three streets from Bennett St - on June 2 to attend classes at Boronia Heights College. She did not arrive at school.

"The lack of information suggests we can't discount the possibility of foul play,'' Insp Potter said.

"We are still looking at the possibility she's either been abducted from the street or she's got into a car of her own accord. We can't discount either possibility.''

Several Melbourne brothels have been checked, police fearing it may have been a motive behind any abduction.

"That aspect of this investigation … has not resulted in any information that suggested she's been abducted for that purpose,'' Insp Potter said.

He said detectives were also looking through the Sex Offenders Register.

There have been reports of sightings, but they have all been discounted.

"If she's been abducted against her will, we are asking for those responsible, for her family's sake, to please contact us,'' he said.

He appealed to Bung, if she had gone of her own accord, to contact her parents or police.

Insp Potter said the worry was that no one had reported anything of a suspicious nature.

"Here's a 13-year-old girl who has no background reason why she might disappear,'' he said.

"There's nothing obvious that we are able to establish in terms of Bung as to why she might go.

"That's another worrying aspect because that points back to the potential for abduction.''

Police have discounted the possibility that the disappearance is connected to social networking sites.

Police are confident she is still in the country.

Bung's stepfather Fred Pattison said he and Bung's mum Vanidda were remaining positive.

"We strongly believe that she's still all right, that she's still alive,'' Mr Pattison said.

"Come forward if you know anything, just come forward, don't be scared, don't say `I don't want to get involved', if you know something come forward.''

Bung is 154cm tall, slim and has long black hair. She was wearing a blue check school uniform and a blue school raincoat.

In today's incident, the driver of the green stationwagon is described as caucasian, with grey short hair, in his 60s and wearing dark tracksuit pants, a dark long-sleeved top.

He was also wearing reading glasses and had a white surgical mask covering his mouth.

This poor girl has been missing now a little over 4 weeks. With two more attempted abductions of young asian girls in the same area I don't think the outlook ls very bright. Her family in Australia and Thailand must be in a terrible state.

Just on 2 months now so one can only fear the worst. I think the poor girl may have been murdered.

THE mother of missing teenage girl Siriyakorn "Bung" Siriboon has left Australia to spend time in Thailand as police desperately track her daughter's suspected kidnapper.

A homicide squad working from Knox police station is aware that Bung's stricken mother, Vanidda, has returned to her home country as they continue to hunt down leads over Bung's disappearance.

Bung's stepfather Fred Pattison said the family owned property in Thailand and his wife's trip home had been planned for a year.

"We have personal business over there," he said.

What a terrible thing. Monsterous.

I'm not sure how to put this, and I hope I can keep my anger in check.

Everybody likes to point the finger at Thailand. I was wondering if this ever happens there. I know it happens in other countries.

Would certainly be a living nightmare trying to get on with things and thinking what might be happening to her at that very point in time....would drive any normal loving parent to the edge.

I hope for her safe return still. Let hope be the last to abandon mankind. If there was foul play involved, let those involved receive the harshest possible sentence available under the court of law in Australia.

How much Media attention is this case getting in Australia?

It was getting quite a bit in Melbourne but it seems that the investigation has stalled. Not much in the media at the moment.
