GENESEE COUNTY (WJRT) (6/14/2018) - A collaborative effort across Genesee County brought 51 of 76 children reported missing back into safe hands.

About 70 police officers from most agencies in the county targeted specific homes, rescuing children from human trafficking.


The kids, all under the age of 17, were reported missing after failing to show up for court hearings, missing school or were foster children the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services hadn't heard from for a while.

Kudos to LE. That is an amazing success rate at finding them.

-The kids, all under the age of 17
-Police say four to six of the children were being trafficked.
-Another 25 children located Thursday appeared to be runaways
-Ten children had been returned to their families by Thursday evening.
-Months of preparation went into creating the list of 76 missing kids and planning Thursday's countywide sweep to find them.

I hope other LE agencies contact them to learn how they managed to find so many. They learned skills in finding kids and I hope they share how to do it with other LE agencies.
