Mollie Halpern: FBI statistics show that an estimated 465,000 children were reported missing in the United States in 2016. Chief of the Violent Crimes Against Children Intelligence Unit Kevin Gutfleish breaks down those numbers.

Kevin Gutfleish: Most of those cases are going to be children that are lost or have run away or that were taken by somebody they know. And those children may or may not be in danger.

Halpern: Though rare, the FBI sees cases in which children are missing for more sinister reasons.

Gutfleish: Children may be lured into sex trafficking or other types of exploitation, and in the rarest of circumstances—about 115 cases a year on average—the child is abducted by a stranger.

Halpern: While the FBI observes National Missing Children’s Day on May 25, special agents are working every day to solve cases involving missing and exploited children.

Gutfleish: We have 72 Child Exploitation Task Forces across the United States, and we even have a specialized Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team that can be dispatched at any moment to assist on a missing child case.

Halpern: With FBI, This Week, I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau.

465,000 is a deceptive number if you don't understand what's it's measuring. This is all reports of a kid missing. It's not 465,000 abductions or active cases.

The vast majority of all of this 465,000 are kids that were missing for a brief time, like a couple of hours and return home safely. Researchers call this "missing benign explanation." This occurs when

a child’s whereabouts are unknown to the child’s caretaker and this causes the caretaker to be alarmed, try to locate the child, and contact law enforcement about the episode for any reason, as long as the child was not lost, injured, abducted, victimized, or classified as runaway/thrownaway.

The next biggest number is kids who were ran away or were kicked out of their house. Each time a kid runs away would be counted separately.

In terms of actual abductions of kids, the nightmare most people have when they think of missing kids, this is a fairly small number and it's about 6 times more likely than a child is abducted by a family member than a stranger.

Actual kidnappings by strangers are very rare and tend to get a lot of publicity. Particularly with the Amber Alert system.
