I'm guessing google's numbers are predictably inadequate.
- Regional Data: In the United States, over 330,000 cases were reported in 2024, with reports suggesting up to 840,000 annually. Other significant reports include over 100,000 in Germany, 96,000 in India, and 45,000 in Canada annually.
- Key Trends: The rise in missing migrant and unaccompanied minors is a major concern, with over 18,000 cases documented in Europe between 2018 and 2020.
- Resolution Rates: In 2024, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) in the US assisted in closing 91% of their cases.
Global Missing Children's Network +4
Dear A.I. Google Manipulated DataSet: What does "with reports suggesting up to 840,000" mean? How can multiple unknown reports "suggest" a number? Which reports? Who generates them? Why aren't they included in the official count? Who generates the official count? How/where do they get their data? And just because 91% of cases were "closed," are you stating that 91% of missing children were "found" and returned to their proper homes and parents? 91% of what gross number? Or does a major part of that 91% indicate NCMEC simply gave up looking and "closed" the cases as insoluble? Why doesn't googledatabase provide url linkages to official government reports and websites chronicling the actual numbers of missing children, where the children were lost, the source of the data, and including graphs indicating the trend over the past 25-50 years? I checked some gov't sites myself, and they were useless. If computers are so "intelligent," why can't it do better than me? Sincerely, Magnolia
In the 2002-04 era when I started reading the C's transcripts, I conducted a lot of research attempting to educate myself and verify the information they contained. One transcript dealt with missing children. I wondered about that. There was a lot of publicly available data on the web back then, including detailed govt reports itemizing numbers of missing children by state. I read them all. If I recall correctly, Colorado led all the states in "lost" children (no surprise there); and the total numbers of missing children across the entire US was unbelievable (not even close to a mere 330K). Canada was no slouch for losing kids either; and neither was South America. Together, North & South America lost at least several millions of kids annually. And that was over 20 years ago. I was shocked at the US figures. It couldn't be possible. I wondered why parents weren't storming the capital demanding action. What was going on? Now, with the invisible figures added by pre- and post-SMO Ukraine and the orchestrated migration in "the West," imagine what multiplier should be used to calculate total missing kids today.....2X? 5X? 10X?
In the early 2000's, there were also publicly available, on-line govt reports on the monthly destruction of tens and hundreds of gallons of blood donations due to "contamination" (Arizona was a key contributor), reports on the actual contents of (impurities in) "bottled water" (I never drank Poland Springs again), and horrific, detailed reasons for food recalls (I never drank orange juice again). These reports were fascinating, but they belong in another thread. But they do serve as evidence that the information available years ago was rather incredible compared to a lot of the pap we get fed today.
