When a child is found after having been missing for many months, the day they are reunited with their family should be the happiest day of their lives and their family’s. But for a small number of these families the child they get back is different from the child they lost.
This week we investigate two cases of changeling children, Walter Collins and Bobby Dunbar, who were both returned to their parents after many months. But as their parents quickly realised, all was not as it seemed.
