Concern is increasing regarding the safety of a 22-year-old woman who went missing in Aalborg in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Mia Skadhauge Stevn disappeared after a night out – principally at nightspots in the Jomfru Ane Gade area. 

North Jutland Police has appealed to anyone who might have video surveillance footage from the time period in question, specifically 03:00 to 10:00 on Sunday morning, to check it and not delete it.

The same applies to party photos taken on Saturday night.

Anyone with relevant information is urged to contact North Jutland Police via 114. The police have so far over 100 lines of inquiry to follow up.

Still looking for car
The police are still trying to track down a vehicle pictured at 06.09 (pictured below) outside a Netto at Vesterbro 99. The only description thus far is that it is a “dark passenger car”. 

It is believed that Steven got into the vehicle following a brief conversation with the driver. She has not been heard from since, and it is not believed she had a phone with her.

Bent Isager-Nielsen, a former serious crime investigator, tells DR that North Jutland Police’s appeal to the public shows the force is taking the case “extremely seriously”. 

As time passes, he concedes, it becomes more likely Steven has been the victim of a crime.

Young man also missing, but since Thursday night
Curiously, perhaps, but a young man went missing during a night out in the city last Thursday.

The police are trying to track down Oliver Ibæk Lund, 21, but they have not yet said they are considering his disappearance as a crime. 

He is described as of average build, with dark short hair and glasses (see photo below). He was wearing a dark wool coat, brown shoes and light blue jeans.

Divers have searched Limfjord – it is a sad truth that a large proportion of people who go missing on nights out in Denmark end up drowning after involuntarily falling into water and being unable to get out.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
