I just did a quick calculation. There are about 130,000 K-12 schools in the US. If 460,000 kids went missing every year, that would be 460,000/130,000 = 3.5 kids PER school, PER year. So - imagine if 3 kids went missing at YOUR kid's school, EVERY YEAR! This would be the most talked-about crisis in our lives. Somehow, these things are supposedly happening 'somewhere' but not in your own school.

Imagine the amberalerts. It'd be so frequent no one would even pay attention to them..
