It is estimated that 2,300 children are reported missing every day in America, which is hundreds of thousands of reports every year.
The good news is that many of those cases are solved very quickly.
But not every case gets resolved. In some instances, and for any number of reasons — kidnappings, family disputes, abductions, etc. — children disappear for years or are never found at all.
