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!
