A child goes missing in the United States every forty seconds.
The largest number of missing children are “runaways”; followed by “family abductions”; then “lost, injured, or otherwise missing children”; and finally, the smallest category, but the one in which the child is at greatest risk of injury or death, “nonfamily abductions.” Many times this question is asked under the assumption that family abductions are not a serious matter; however, this is not true. In most cases children are told that the left-behind parent doesn’t want or love them. These children may live the life of a fugitive, always on the run with the noncustodial parent and stripped away from their home, friends, school, and family

This is unbelievable. I never knew it was that often. This is an epidemic and must be dealt with in the forefront of everyone's minds. It is just a matter of time before it reaches someone we know or dear to us. So sad, so very sad.
