Milwaukee, Wisconsin (US):
Quadrevion "Dre" Henning and Purvis Virginia Parker had spent most of Sunday morning playing outside, but they weren't ready to kick back and watch television.
So, a few hours before dark, they got permission from home to head for a northwest Milwaukee playground less than two blocks from their homes.
Their families haven't seen them since."It's like the children dissolved," Trevor Henning, Dre's uncle, said Thursday. "They just disappeared."Despite four days of searching the area with dogs, divers and 150 volunteers, police say they have no idea what happened to Dre, 12, or Purvis, 11.

Without anything to go on, police are not calling the disappearance an abduction.Spokeswoman Anne Schwartz noted that it is highly unusual for two unrelated boys to go missing together.
"Typically that's not a situation you would see in the case of a child abduction," Schwartz said.Dre and Purvis live just around the corner from each other in a neighborhood of mostly single-story, well-kept frame homes.
Dre and a cousin, also 11, live with their grandparents, while Purvis lives with his mother, stepfather and three sisters. Neither is the type to go play without telling anyone, much less run away, relatives said.
