All across the United States of America children go missing.

Those kids go missing for various reasons. Sometimes they run away, get lost while traveling, and others are taken away by a stranger or family member.

Regardless of the reason, any child missing from home is a tragedy for the individual kid and the family that is missing them.

As of the most current information posted by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, there are at least 38 children who had been reported missing this year and still have not been found or returned home.

That data also shows that 60 of New York's 62 counties have reported at least 1 missing child, and while that number has been decreasing in recent years, one missing child is one too many. In 2020, there were more than 11,000 reports of missing children filed across the state, and the vast majority of those cases were reported from outside of New York City.
