Just a reminder this has been going on since the 50's... remember "milk jug kids"? Prepridge farms remembers....

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, roughly 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United States -- that's roughly 2,000 per day.

  • note: about 1/3 are double reports of run-aways and they eventually come back home...but the other 2/3 don't and never bubble up again on things like taxes, insurance billing, E-verify to get jobs, schools...etc... I want to know where close to 1/2 a million bodies are going each year....

we all do

going to try to stick with organ trafficking, but we can slip things in :)

We can wake a lot, we have many writers who come here, just don't know how to put it together, make it simple with links, solid reporting

Mass media should be doing this, the fact it isn't in news constantly tells a lot

The younger generations don't care what happened in the 50's, we need stuff not too far back, shame too, The older people have seen a lot and no one listens to them anymore

"going to try to stick with organ trafficking, but we can slip things in :)"

Don't limit yourself. Organ donation may not be the answer. That's a lot of organ donar operations. So much so that I don't think the two numbers add up. For instance: there are only 17,000 people in the us waiting for a new liver. That doesn't even come close to livers from 500,000 kids yearly.

Source: How many people are on the waiting list for a liver transplant? All liver transplant candidates in the United States must be listed with UNOS before a donor liver can be allocated. Currently there are nearly 17,000 people waiting for a liver transplant in the United States.

This, exactly this. With 1/2 a million children going missing each and every year and have been for 40+ years , and its just a blip on the radar that never gets talked about....
