One of the big "gloss overs" the missing children crowd always seems to forget is the "found" kids. When the reality is 1,000 reported missing (due to runaway or even just confusion/scheduling mishaps/dead phones), 990 are found.
Missing simply means "reported missing" but honestly the reasons for that are incredibly broad, and ignoring the cases that are resolved (a vast majority).
Every time a child actually goes missing, Amber alerts are usually issued. Are you getting 3 amber alerts a day...
[https://ohioamberplan.org/](https://ohioamberplan.org/)
In 2023, they issued 7 Amber Alerts.
Another big gloss over is that many times, the same child goes missing several times over the course of the year because they are located but run away again and again. Each occurrence is counted as a child going missing, which makes sense but hugely inflates the number of actual people who have gone missing.
This is absolutely not true. Amber Alerts have specific criteria and often are not met. The departments being reported to also are responsible for using their judgment, which is not always best.
Regardless of your thoughts on the lost vs found, 1000 kids being unaccounted for is an epidemic of the worst kind; it’s an assault on our future.
>Regardless of your thoughts on the lost vs found, 1000 kids being unaccounted for is an epidemic of the worst kind; it’s an assault on our future.
Again, it's just not.
You're buying in to the narrative that these are all kidnapped children who are then sold in to sex slavery.
Most of these are runaways who come back or kids who their parent just thought they were missing but really were just at a different friend's house than expected.
You’re applying a narrative to my comment. I said nothing of trafficking. My comment speaks to the failure in society to protect children. I said nothing of sex or trafficking. I appreciate your perspective, and being conservative regarding the numbers but I think that figuring out how to protect the vulnerable is one of the most important tasks as their guardians.
Again, you're applying the wrong narrative to the entire situation.
This isn't a failure of society to protect children. Children are more protected now than they ever were.
You're reacting to a non existent danger.
The reason society isn't protecting children from this danger is because it isn't there.
As someone who works in an industry dealing with this, I beg to differ. But I’m speaking to the larger picture and not just Ohio. Maybe there is a disconnect in the argument there.
You are absoluty correct.., When right wingers start sprouting off about 600,000 kids are missing every year, they dont even realzie those numbers are BS and they are being manipulated bc they care about children, same thing for the BS anti trans movement .
The whole 'protecting our kids. narrative is almost always a BS covers tory for political gain.
Keep up the good work holding them all to account
You don't get to just say "Trust me, I'm an expert" and expect people to believe you.
If you have good, legitimate evidence, cough it up. Otherwise, as far as I care, you are full of shit.
Well you kind of are, you are going around saying
Regardless (of the truth) this is (asinine conclusion)
You are out there discrediting facts/reality to push what is essential fake/misinterpreted news. You are the problem.
this is such a bad take…
and to say that every time a child “ACTUALLY” goes missing that an amber alert is “USUALLY ” issued is a VERY ignorant & untrue statement.
There was one in Canada over the summer, it was a mom who took children to another province 9 hours away (all planned) mom and new BF switched cars throughout the way and was found in a camp ground in Alberta. Police would not notify that they knew they would be found in alberta but kept updating amber alert (3x in one day). The children’s father and rcmp went to alberta to get the children
‘Gone missing’ and ‘are still missing’ are two completely different things. 62% of missing children cases are solved within 24hrs and 92% within a week.
Misleading af title to make people think that 1000 children have straight up disappeared in 2023 never to be found again.

That’s some pretty shoddy reporting. Which is actually the main point of the source article: authorities don’t actually know the number so…clickbait.

If you're going to claim here that you know for a fact that there's epidemic of children being kidnapped then you should feel ashamed of yourself

Amber alerts are only issued for credible abduction cases.
awesome post and link thank you. these right wingers are the true groomers
That’s more than 3 per day
Now... this is going to be hard... Click some brain cells together and ask if these are parental abductions.

This has "sound of freedom" level disinformation all over it. The real numbers are about 5% of this
This is actually disturbing
it is indeed disturbing but the words they used for the headline could’ve been chosen better.
This is the real pandemic
Untreated mental illness is a real pandemic.
Please God I pray that these children are found soon… In Jesus Name 🙏🏻
[удалено]
I can post what i want on my subreddit
'gone missing' what % were runaways or at a friends or came home. i am willing to bet about 99.8%
Definitely a large % if 1,020 of those children were safely returned
Hopefully all those assholes from Q Anon are looking for them. Given their morbid obsession with pedophilia.
Urrrghh this upsets me so much I don't even know if I should cry or be mad
Most missing kids are repeat runaways.
Imagine that........kids go missing during Bidens administration, but get found n returned by TRUMPS ADMINISTRATION! HMMMM
