200 missing kids found in national operation

A six-week national operation found 200 missing children across the U.S., including children from Arizona.

Operation We Will Find You 2 (OWWFY2) is the second of its kind. The operation spanned May 20 to June 24.

A news release from the Department of Justice reads, in part, "With technical assistance from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), OWWFY2 resulted in the recovery and removal of 123 children from dangerous situations. An additional 77 missing children were located and found to be in safe locations, according to law enforcement or child welfare agencies. Of the 200 children found, 173 were endangered runaways, 25 were considered otherwise missing, one was a family abduction, and one was a non-family abduction. The youngest child recovered was five months old. 14 of the children were found outside the city where they went missing. Additionally, of the missing children recovered, 57% were recovered within seven days of the USMS assisting with the case."

Why is this NOT BREAKING NEWS NATIONWIDE?!!

[nanaman]

If six weeks can find 200 imagine what a full time force would recover.

Excellent work

[CatalinaFOIA]

Why is this not being blasted on every major news outlet????

[bonnie_gail]

Child Protective Services across the nation should be thoroughly investigated.

[Galloway]

What’s scary is… who is buying these children? Our neighbors? Coworkers? Family members? Clearly many people are. We live in a SICK world.

wow that program needs to be funded forever this is where our tax dollars should be going

[Bre_Creatively]

How in the WORLD were 200 children missing and then found and this is top of the news? Crazy world we live in.

[alittleimagination]

If you've ever seen "The Sound of Freedom", you will feel 100x worse about this situation. Disgusting and demonic. Pray for the children of the world and the innocent ones. 💕🙏🏻 ✝️

Abducting a kid should warrent the death penalty.
Handling these kids like a sack of flour, going from one "market" to the next. Insanity.

[msorani]

If it's that easy to find 200 missing children why aren't we doing this on a continuous basis

[edemontfort]

If law enforcement was this successful in just one month of concentrated effort why isn't this being done in every state to help recover the thousands of missing children

[_rat_]

HOW IS THIS NOT NATIONWIDE NEWS?! This is incredible that they have found them ❤ wow

[bigtimetorifan]

6 week investigation?? This should be a 24/7/365 task force ffs!!

[joypowers]

Even ONE child trafficked was too many. So very worth the time, efforts, and resources to find these children

[merryfergie]

Was that the best report the news channel could provide?
No lead in story, no content, just numbers.

Child sex trafficing is no joke. Im now 48. It happened to me 43 years ago. My dad found a way to make money to pay for his drug addiction and keep it hidden from my mom. He went to prison and now lives in the phillipines and publishes a christian journal. Come to find out, as an adult, my mother knew the whole time. Please, speak out. Tell your stories. This needs to stop. Pray for these children. ❤

[davidfox]

Remember folks there are over 80k MISSING kid's they are not talking about. A true shame

[vanchick]

Kinda baffling how many kids can be RESCUED when our law enforcement ACTUALLY LOOKS FOR THEM, huh?

[natalieussery]

Oh my goodness! Thank you so MUCH for all involved rescuing these CHILDREN!!!! You are more than You are ANGELS from

[cahg]

Sex trafficking needs to stopped and the perpetrators need to be jailed for years, not month, but years.
