Hi guys,

Ok so I saw that Youtube video outlining how many kids are missing from Virginia vs the rest of the country and it was very compelling, so I looked further into it.

First I looked at a map of Virginia and just picked a random town that was reasonably close to DC. I picked Fairfax, Virginia. Fairfax in only 35 minutes from DC.

I didn't have to search for long - I went to this page: http://www.missingkids.org/missingkids/servlet/PubCaseSearchServlet?act=usMapSearch&missState=VA&searchLang=en_US&casedata=latest

Here are some crazy stats:

• Out of the 371 missing children in Virginia, 49 of them are Children missing from Fairfax!

• Fairfax has a population of only 22,000. That is 0.28% of the Virginia population.

• Yet it has 13% of all missing children. That is almost 50 TIMES the rate it should have.

• Virginia Beach has a population of 437,000 which is 20 times Fairfax, yet it only has 20 missing children compared to Fairfax 49.

• If we assume that under 23% of all people are "under 18" (close to national average) then that means there are 5,060 of them living in Fairfax.

• That means that around 1 in 100 people under 18 in Fairfax are currently missing.

**THERE IS AN EPIDEMIC OF MISSING CHILDREN IN FAIRFAX. **

This alone warrants a formal investigation. How can we report this?

Feel free to dig further, try to find places they may be missing from. Look into "Virginia Missing Children's Clearinghouse" which is listed for most of the Fairfax cases.
