from some news site:

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG-TV9) — With the recent high-profile disappearances of Mollie Tibbetts and Jake Wilson
rumors and information - shared without context or explanation - have been making the rounds on social media.

Just one Facebook post has been shared hundreds of times showcasing a list of dozens of recent missing persons cases
in Iowa.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety released a statement to explain the reality of missing people, especially children,
in Iowa.

In 2017 alone, 4,311 juveniles were reported missing to The Missing Person Information Clearinghouse. “This is an
average of approximately 12 juveniles a day,” the agency said in a press release. “The vast majority of which are
found or returned home within 24 hours.”

The department said many, if not most, of the cases involve
runaway situations.

“The number of missing juveniles reported in recent weeks is in line with historical numbers,” the agency added.

Currently Iowa has no Amber Alerts out. As the article says, a lot of the “missing” teens are usually runaways.
It would be nice if the person who wrote the original post had researched every one and shown the dispotions.
Awk! It’s from some conspiracy site...and those sites seem to like to highten
the drama and go light on the facts/research.
Not like here, for which I’m grateful.
(PS WTH is up with the formatting? The post I coped from was sized just right, but when I pasted it here, it was all kinda
too wide, more hard returns.
Is karma paying me a visit??
