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.

what you just posted is insinuating that there's actually not that many children being lured into sex trafficking or straight up being kidnapped.

This is where trust in the FBI evaporates.. They pretend like these kids run away, or got in fight with their parents and ended up sleeping at a friends house for a night or two... blah blah blah blah
Rationalizing a nearly half a million cases down to 115 victims of child trafficking is statistically ridiculous.

What are you basing that on? What statistics?
As a parent, I can tell you anecdotally that it is extremely common for kids to go missing and for parents to report them as missing children....both in the form of kids just being little shits and wandering off, running away, one friend i have had to file a report because the little shit was playing hide and go seek and wouldnt answer anybody for hours
Another very common scenario is custody related things....ex husband takes child out of state on a vacation his mom didnt want him to go on, mom reports kid missing out of spite or in a bout of erratic knee jerking, etc.
I mean, if you're saying those extremely common scenarios dont account for as much of it as what the FBI is claiming then I'd at least want to see some kind of hard numbers to back your claim up...not that I trust the FBI, but I do trust evidence.

You're naive, to the extreme, and appear to have no idea how our government is deeply involved in trafficking children.
Don't waste your breath with me.
chris ago
I think that there is deeply rooted trafficking rings all over the country for elite groups, but you're the naive one for playing into pizzagate.
remedy4reality ago
so.. you admit you fuck kids and/or protect politicians who do the same ?
Why don't you scoop up the $50,000 for proving Pizzagate is false, you stupid cunt ?
chris ago
I don't know if you're retarded, but no idea where you got from. Eh, probably retarded.
You can't prove a negative, you'd have to not be a "stupid cunt" to realize that, though. I think you and your pizzagate flunkies have the market cornered on the stupid cunt business.

Ahhhh.. and yet we have the President tweeting from the G20 about suspect #1, John Podesta.
You evil kid fucking cunts are going down.
chris ago
I know research (so far) doesnt appear to be the strong point of anybody on this sub, but you might want to really push that mouse up to my username, try your hardest to click that left mouse button and then try to decipher the words you see in my comment history and then realize how fucking retarded you are for thinking im a shill, dumbfuck.
remedy4reality ago
How about you go fuck yourself, you stupid cunt ?
I warned you not to waste your time with me, but like a true faggot shill cunt, you could not resist.

The article is only stating that 115 children are abducted by strangers - nothing else, Not the amount trafficked or the amount otherwise exploited !!.
