Oftentimes when they say “children” we think of tender age and below, but more often than not, they include 16 yrs and above in this number. Many kids are runaways.


I agree with the runaway stuff. However, my point is that the number of 800k to 1 mil. seems so high because most of us don’t know anyone personally affected by this. For example, in 2018 there were 35k killed in car accidents. Over the course of my life, I know of at least 3 people killed in car accidents, so to me the numbers probably make sense. I don’t know anyone who has ever had an unrecovered teen, or an unrecovered missing child. Also, I don’t know of anyone who knows of someone.

I am not saying the numbers are off, I just wish I had a better understanding of WHERE these children are coming from, because I just don’t think it is believable they are predominately coming from normal American families. Perhaps, they are creating their own with a handful of runaways, but then why list them as missing?

I hope my question makes sense.

Your question makes sense, but I agree the numbers don’t. I still think many are runaways.

I know of one gal whose step-daughter ran away, twice in one year and was counted both of those times... so are they inflating numbers? Probably. She was found, 3 months later, this girl. She was 15.

Arizona takes kids from parents.. there’s FB group regarding that.

This site seems to have better information and I think, like Covid, if a kids runs away 3 or 4 times, that many times is included in the number.

My guess is the ones born into the illuminati breeding program don’t even make it into the statistics.
