Meme 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United States The number of unregistered children is unthinkable.
This will negatively impact our credibility. You need to mention the number who go missing and are not found, not the number reported missing, as most are found soon after being reported missing.
"Of the more than 11,800 endangered runaways reported to NCMEC in 2015, one in five were likely victims of child sex trafficking. Of those, 74 percent were in the care of social services when they went missing."
Is this a more accurate number? Even missingkids.com seems to be speculating.
I think we should go with the statistics listed in this link. This is a much more accurate representation of children missing with a breakdown of why they're missing.

Yup agree 100% the number of children who aren't recovered is the number we should be focusing on.
