There were the two boys taken by their parents from their grandmother in FL too. The way the parents did, I really didn't think they had anything left to lose and I did fear the parents would harm these two kids. They were found off the coast of Cuba safe.
The 800,000 quoted is right in the missing count, but the also mean even those who go missing briefly and those who runaway. I think the final result of ABDUCTIONS is somewhere around 55,000-60000. Since those also include parental or family abductions, I doubt all of them are deceased. I do believe if we look at the more recent stats from the past few months, we would find that kids missing for a lengthy time, with the discovery of the girls in Cleveland, and a few of the others we may not be hearing about being found as they were not highly publicized while they were missing, that it's quite possible the odds are turning around to almost equal platform. In other words, it seems recently that there is a 50-50 chance that the missing child could very well still be alive.
MOO.
