MsFacetious that was a wonderful well thought out post. The thank you button just wasn't quite enough! Thank you.
As I read the list, ticking off each one by one by one.
The vast majority of missing children that we see on these boards are harmed by their parent or custodial parent or stepparent...etc.
It just breaks my heart for those kids. So sad.
Very sad. I just happened upon this article yesterday about Child Abuse Homicides.

An expert with the health department says they arent seeing more child abuse homicides this year compared with other years, but what they are seeing is the victims are getting older.
What you are seeing is patterns of injuries over time. Its a child living in a violent situation for a long period of time, says Teresa Brechlin, with the State Department of Health.
Being killed by parents is the #1 cause of death in young childhood, says Dr. Goldsmith
And that has him working harder to try and help those children trapped in violent homes.
