The number is no longer 800,000 , that's a number from 20 years ago. It's about 465,000. This is reports of kids missing for any reason at all, even if they are found a few hours later. So if a kid gets lost or injured on the way home from school and they don't arrive home at the expected time or they get lost at the mall, if the parents report the kid as missing, it's is part of these large numbers. Kids who run away even for a night a part of these numbers. In almost all of these 465,000 instances, the kid comes home.

Does the Polly Klaas website say all of that or just the last sentence?

The 465 is the 2016 numbers. The Polly Klass website points to the last public government study from 2003 that says these things. They did another study, but have not published the results yet.
