I figured the high count of missing kids in Virginia had very possibly a trivial explanation.
What I don't understand is how former FBI agent Ted Gunderson could claim that 700,000 kids go missing every year. I assumed he meant in the U.S., but could he have meant worldwide? It looks like there can't be over one- or two-thousand kids missing in the U.S. each year.
I think there are around that many who at some point are reported missing, but the majority return later. It's annoying, but people don't always clarify their information sufficiently, and misimpressions result.
