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.
not even possible. purposefully published disinformation. these numbers don't match up to anything in recent history or previous. is this a statistic before automobiles were invented??? seen this type of information on official websites, it's not humanly possible that 99.8% come home or for them to even reach that figure. if 99.8% come home, they have a lot of fucking questions to answer about the 0.2%, and they better make it fucking quick.
Agreed. Super bogus numbers. If these were legit then even the NCMEC would use them to bolster their image and justify the amount of money the government gives them.

There are 11 million illegals living in the US alone - paperwork dubious. Is in any wonder Killary was for open borders!
