Shannon in care of police
SHANNON Matthews has been put in care following her discovery in a house in Batley Carr, 24 days after she vanished.
The nine-year-old has undergone medical checks and as part of ongoing enquiries will be interviewed by police.
Although she was reunited with mum Karen yesterday, Shannon is still in the care of West Yorkshire Police.
A police spokesman said: "This may be a long process but throughout this enquiry our main focus has been and continues to be Shannon's welfare.
"We have therefore taken the decision that, for now, it is in Shannon's best interests that she be made subject of an Emergency Police Protection Order.
"This will remain in place until we have had time to establish the full facts of what happened in the time since her disappearance."
