I need to get my statistics in order! There is “no reliable” way to determine exact amount as many missing children are not even reported. I’ve also heard/read 800,000/annual. There might be fewer missing now as several rings have been dismantled. It doesn’t really matter though as 1 missing child is too many.
That number is too high. We'd all know missing kids personally if over half a million went missing each year.

It's a big country with a lot of people. That seems very reasonable to me.
Also, many go missing while in “care.” Additionally, the freaks prey on those in disenfranchised neighborhoods. It’s so awful.
