The number of kids missing in Virginia from 9/1/2016 - 11/30/2016 = 228 228/297 = 77%

The number of kids missing in Virginia from 9/1/2015 - 11/30/2015 = 15 15/30 = 50%

The number of kids missing in Virginia from 9/1/2014 - 11/30/2015 = 3 3/12 = 25%

I think it's too hard to say whether there's really an uptick in the number reported missing in the last few months. The numbers for the state of Virginia are quite high though.
