[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 6 days ago (3 children) The missing children? That's not a made-up number... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Rosbj@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 days ago (2 children) So not only does 1/1000 of every Americans go missing every single year (that would be wild), and you're telling me it's all children? 600000 every single year? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago That’s just the number of missing child reports. The vast majority are teens who are gone for a couple of days without telling their parents where they’re at and are found and returned quickly (92-93%). A good portion of those reports are multiple reports for the same teenagers that repeatedly run off from home. Frequent runaway teens with 10 or more missing child reports make up 30% of all missing child reports each year. https://popcenter.asu.edu/node/37501 permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago From a few comment below: https://globalmissingkids.org/awareness/missing-children-statistics/ And yeah, children go missing very easily. These are the number of reports. Most children are found very quickly after reporting. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago It's technically not. Someone else said 92% are found quickly. Runaways, parents don't know where their kid is, etc, its the number of "reports". But the other 8% are about 13k kids. Even that amount is kinda crazy tbh. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago But they don't believe it's real, and their own perceptions of reality are clearly more important than actual reality! permalink fedilink source parent
