The search for two girls still missing from a children's home in Hornachuelos (Córdoba) has been widened to the provinces of Granada, Huelva and Sevilla on the grounds of geographical proximity and that neither are originally from Córdoba.

The other three girls were found by police in Granada's Zona Norte district yesterday and have been taken back into care.

After escaping from the Arco Iris children's home on the outskirts of Hornachuelos last Sunday, the five 14-15 year old girls appeared at the Guardia Civil barracks in Palma del Río the following morning alleging that they had been abused by staff at the home.

The hunt continues for five young girls last seen at the Guardia Civil barracks in Palma del Río (Córdoba) last Monday morning.

The girls, who were reported missing on Sunday evening at the same barracks by the director of the Arco Iris children's home in nearby Hornachuelos (photo), disappeared after accusing staff at the regional government funded facility of child abuse.
