800,000 children are not abducted each year. The vast majority of missing children are found within hours and they were just lost, or injured or they went to friend's house without telling anyone.

Of abducted children, the vast majority are abducted by a family member during a custody dispute.

A tiny, tiny percentage of missing kids are actually kidnapped by strangers.

National Child Kidnapping Facts

99.8% of the children who go missing do come home.

Nearly 90% of missing children have simply misunderstood directions or miscommunicated their plans, are lost, or have run away.

9% are kidnapped by a family member in a custody dispute.

3% are abducted by non-family members, usually during the commission of a crime such as robbery or sexual assault. The kidnapper is often someone the child knows.

Only about 100 children (a fraction of 1%) are kidnapped each year in the stereotypical stranger abductions you hear about in the news.

About half of these 100 children come home.

That 800,000 number is from the late 90's I believe. Reports of missing children have to be reported the FBI by law.

In 2016 there were 465,676 reports and in 2015, there were 460,699. This is a 1 percent increase.
