What in the hell is going in with the missing children globally and here in the States?

421,000 in 2019 alone..

what in the absolute fuck is happeneing here? I went through some rabbit holes, but i cannot understand why this is not talked about so much more

Does anyone have any additional links/ideas/comments/theroy(s)

This is one of those that is just staying with me and i feel there has to be something else going on here. Or maybe that many missing kids is the norm?

Half a million a year seems pretty damn steep considering we engaged in a 22-year conflict in the middle east after 3k were killed in 9/11 (and 30k were reported missing in the US alone, so x10 that event)
