Shannon Matthews
The six fathers of Karen Matthews' seven children have demanded their kids come and live with them.
If they get their way, Shannon - missing for 24 days and currently living with foster parents - faces being split from her family for good.
Three of Shannon's siblings - Kelly, six, Daniel, seven, and Ian, 10 - already live with their fathers. But since Karen's arrest, the dads of her other children are battling to have their kids live with them.
Shannon was living with Karen, stepdad Craig Meehan, 22, two brothers Toni, 12, and Cameron, five, and sister Courtney, two. Karen and Craig are now in prison awaiting trial and all four of the children are in care.
John Bretton, dad to Toni, wants his child to live with him and Philip Newson wants to give his son Cameron a home.
Shannon's dad Leon Rose, 29 - also father of her brother Ian - is said to want her to live with him.
Daniel lives with his dad Paul Hooker in Huntington, Cambs, and Kelly lives in Dewsbury with her dad William Marshall.
