Thank you for bringing this to our attention @v4vapid There are also some deeply worrying missing children statistics in Europe and the UK (many from the care system) indeed this appears to be a worldwide plague. They have both privatised and are privatising many aspects of the social and care system. But any system that treats children as commodities does not deserve the right to have the word "care" in their title. I did hear some years back that the imprinting of missing children on milk cartons was in fact a nefarious ruse to normalise this exponential inrease in the perception of the public. I don't know the validity of this but knowing the sickness that has pervaded this world it's a sobering and disturbing thought. It's equally disturbing how the horror of trafficking is often hidden within layer upon layer of statistics. Whilst I'm certainly not suggesting all children are trafficked or abused the numbers you relay here are deeply troubling. Thank you for bringing this information to our attention for a light needs to be shone in even the darkest of places.

Thanks for such a thoughtful reply,
This problem is definitely not confined to Virginia or the United States and from what I gather children who pass through CPS and foster homes are among the most targeted for abuse. Similar to your thoughts about missing profiles on milk cartons, I have serious doubts in the mission and effectiveness of institutions that claim to defend/locate/care for missing and/or abused children.
What I've discovered in looking at Virginia and other states is that the numbers are obscured / incomplete / or absent - if institutions that are well funded cannot even come up with state by state statistics, how are they ever going to effectively combat child trafficking, abuse and the likes?
I have a follow up in the works that is just as shocking in terms of statistics, please keep an eye out for that.
No problem in the slightest @v4vapid such diligent research of a subject that has remained hidden for far too long deserves an appropriate comment. As much as it saddens me to say, I think to a degree all of these institutions have been infiltrated. I will certainly be keeping an eye out for the follow up and I applaud your dedication to such a difficult subject, respect to you. Sorry to add this on here but I just noticed you'd upvoted/resteemed my post and I want to say thank you!
