0bject permanence: a disconnection parable - part II

Nil was born on The Isle of Man in the year 1952 to a nameless woman who died during the process of giving birth. There was much controversy, due to the fact that there was no father in attendance and no family present to claim the child. Nil, however, did not remain a ward of the state for long. At the age of 7, Nil disappeared. Mostly because the family he was given to in Glasgow was a state-sponsored foster family with too many charges, and not enough money to make them pay enough attention, but also because he simply vanished from school one day during tea. The search ended late 1958. It remains a cold-case to date.
