We should lead red-pilling/advertising/signs with this stat. It's impossible to ignore and/or not make you wonder how.

P.s. it has to do specifically with pg bc it shows that there is a systemic and widespread problem in our country with missing children.

Just out of curiosity, does this number include kids who wander off and their parents panic and call the police, only for them to be found a few hours later? Not that it makes it any less of a grave number.... just thinking for clarity's sake.

Doesn't matter. It's a real, true number and that's all that's needed to get attention. As I'm sure you're aware, it happens in advertising and marketing all. the. time. It's about time we employ the same techniques that work for everyone else rather than letting ourselves get bogged down in arguments that the opposition would use to throw at us.

Of course it matters if we go around saying there are 800,000 children who go missing each year if 99% of them are found shortly after being reported missing. It allows people to say, "These people are lying alarmists pointing to obviously false data. We can't believe a word that comes out of their mouths." discrediting anything else we say.

No one is intentionally misleading. We are using the stats the "experts" have provided. And to say that only 115 kids go missing in this country a year is ludicrous.

Exactly. If you go around intentionally misleading people, you're shooting yourself in the foot. Even if it's for a good cause.

Fair point! I just like to be able to understand all sides of statistics. Definitely good ammunition though.
