The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Crime Information Center
estimates that roughly 2,000 children are reported missing every day.
Luckily, the vast majority of missing children are found and their cases
are resolved within hours; of those who aren’t immediately found, up to
49% are later found to have been abducted by a non-custodial parent or
relative. 27% are kidnapped by an acquaintance, leaving only 24% at the
