I was reported missing once as a child. I went to the neighbors house and didn't tell my mom. She called the police. I don't think it's all that uncommon. I'd like to see a statistic on how many kids go missing permanently.
I did some research once and I think it's 300-400 per year. The ncic database is really misleading, kids that run away more than once or any changes to a report increase the total count.
I went missing as a child. I fell asleep under the tarp covering the motorcycle on the back patio. I just remember being so warm under there, in the afternoon sun. I was 3. When I woke up everyone was standing in the street talking. The police were there and my parents & all the neighbours. Even the old man Mr. Salvatore. Mr. Salvatore never came out of the house.
Humans and animals have more in common than we realize. My cat used to climb into the house's rafters because that's where all the heat rose to and then condensed behind the insulation.
Yea. I guess these would most likely be older teens that end up in prostitution based on how they define it.
Child sex trafficking is a form of child abuse that occurs when a child under 18 is advertised, solicited or exploited through a commercial sex act. A commercial sex act is any sex act where something of value – such as money, drugs or a place to stay – is given to or received by any person for sexual activity.
While any child can be targeted by a trafficker, research, data and survivor lived experience and expertise have revealed traffickers and buyers often target youth who lack strong support networks, have experienced violence in the past, are experiencing homelessness, or are marginalized by society.

Like COVID-19 case counting ?
What's the motive in this case?

Same with me and quite a few of my friends.
I found this "Of the nearly 26,500 runaways reported to NCMEC in 2019, 1 in 6 were likely victims of child sex trafficking" https://www.missingkids.org/footer/media/keyfacts
