View from the hill


According to NCMEC, in FY 2005 there were 7,000 reports of endangered runaways and 774 reports of children involved in or suspected of being involved in child prostitution.

Currently between Jan 1, 2005 and Dec 31,2005 there are 240 endangered runaways listed on the NCMEC site.

Were the other 6,760 endangered runaways found, de-listed, or move to some other category?

Thank you for the kind words but I am not sure what impact, if any, I am having. Hopefully at least those who do visit maybe won't accept the statistics at face value.

Just blogging about it is an impact Don. You are not ignoring the problem.
