When we were all busy celebrating our nation’s independence with our families, some parents were desperate. They wanted nothing but information that would lead them to their lost child.
In Texas, every month, many teens don’t come home. We don’t know the reason for each child, but our minds wander to worst-case scenarios.
Sex trafficking, kidnapping, and murder are all on the table when you have no clues.
These families need your help finding their children. They have canvassed the streets, walked the blocks hopefully searching, and have turned up nothing.
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
When you need to find a missing child, you want to cast a wide net. That is why the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children exists.
This agency gets the word out so that these young adults and children are not forgotten.
According to the source, you can guarantee their families have not forgotten them, and we can help.
In July, they reported 26 still-missing children in Texas. They come from all walks of life and range in age from 14 to 17.
Why Are So Many Children Missing in Texas Every Month?
There is no rhyme or reason why these children go missing. The reasons are as varied as they are.
What we do know is raising awareness works. Take a moment to scroll through all the 26 missing children from all over Texas to see if there is anyone you recognize.
