Non-Family Abductions*
Broad Scope
Attempted Non-Family Abductions: 114,600 children.
These represent attempted abductions: for example, luring of a child for the purposes of committing another cnme.

Policy Focal
Non-Family Abductions: 3,200 to 4,600 children.
These are ( 1) the coerced and unauthorized taking of a child into a building, a vehicle, or a distance of more than 20 feet; (2) the detention of a child for a period of more than an hour; or (3) the luring of a child for the purpose of committing another crime.

Findings.
Broad Scope: Children aged 4 to 11 experienced most of the attempts. Most involved attempts to lure children into cars rather than attempts to take or detain.

Political Focal:
Almost half of the victims were children age 12 and older. Seventy-four percent were girls. Sixty-two percent of the perpetrators were strangers and 19% were acquaintances. Most were removed from the street (52%) and taken to a vehicle (46%). Force was used against 87% of the victims; it involved a weapon in 75% of the cases. Ransom was requested in 8% of the cases.

*the smallest category, but the one in which the child is at greatest risk of injury or death, “nonfamily abductions.”

Q: How many missing children are there?

A: According to the National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice and released in 1990, the yearly estimates of each type of “missing child” are

Family Abductions - 354,100
Nonfamily Abductions - 3,200 to 4,600
Attempted Nonfamily Abductions - 114,600

Runaways - 450,700
Thrownaways - 127,100
Lost, Injured, or Otherwise Missing - 438,200

Please note researchers caution that these individual categories may not be summed for a total figure for all missing children.

Q: How many missing children are found deceased? What hours are most critical when trying to locate a missing child?
A: According to the State of Washington’s Office of the Attorney General“the murder of a child who is abducted ... is a rare event. There are estimated to be about 100 such incidents in the United States each year, less than one-half of one percent of the murders committed”; however, “74 percent of abducted children who are murdered are dead within three hours of the abduction.”
I picked up a few other bits from the the statistics and reports section of Missing Kids>
It's not a new thing, it has happened many times in many places. I believe it is increasing due to the ease of obtaining very hard core child pornography over the internet, inflaming an idle fancy or curiosity into fixation and obsession.

The pedophilic culture has observed the success of militant Gay Liberation. Even now they are putting forth "studies" showing that "intergenerational sex" is not harmful. They too, agitate for declaring pedophilia a lifestyle, not a mental illness.

Why, if we would just accept and tolerate their "choices" and give them our children as "love partners", they wouldn't have to resort to "crimes of passion".

Don't you see - They LOVE children! /sarcasm>

Those stats should be publicized periodically throughout the year. Not enough so people start ignoring it..
