Protect our Children According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children , The U.S. Department of Justice reports that in a one-year period of time studied, 797,500 children younger than 18 were reported missing for an average of 2,185 children being reported missing each day.  Some other hard hitting statistics from this organization: More than   200,000   children were abducted by family members. More than   58,000   children were abducted by non family members. An estimated   115   children were the victims of “stereotypical” kidnapping. These “stereotypical” kidnappings involved someone the child did not know or was an acquaintance. The child was held overnight, transported 50 miles or more, killed, ransomed or held with the intent to keep the child permanently. In Missouri, there are currently 401 missing children.  Here is a link to see these missing kids - http://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/CJ51/Search?page=1&co...
