I recently found a reddit thread that highlights the problem of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) working 'in partnership' with government when it is classified as a non profit corporation. See recent law suit over the handling of child pornography: http://archive.is/TROdU.
Don't forget that they work closely with AmberAlert.

Here is a quick thought on credibility: when I watched the video about Virginia kids being reported missing more (and the subsequent video explaining that VA might simply be the only state reporting well), I did the math and noted that the total numbers of children missing would still only be a few thousand if all states reported as well as VA does. But...500,000ish kids go missing every year. These numbers are so disparate that there is something that doesn't make sense. These numbers are not close to justified.
Now, it may be that the answer is simply 490,000 kids are found quickly out of those 500,000, but having watched the video reports from the 80s about how there are hundreds of young boys living on the streets in just a half square mile in Houston, turning tricks, I doubt it.

Numbers are so deceiving because they are always manipulated. Look this website and the upvoat/downvote manipulation, look at YouTube and the lying numbers. Look at hillarys pole numbers....all lies.

The extent of the corruption is truly shocking. I was thinking today that it is only a citizen-based open source investigation and pressure from the grassroots that can begin to attempt any change. It's no wonder that data is being made available to us. If you work for any of the agencies or corporations or within government it is not possible to do anything. The rot has travelled too deep.
