Are these missing children, or missing children reports, of which most are usually resolved within a day or two?
Here is a website that those numbers come from. It doesnt exactly answer your question but has some good info and you may be able to contact them directly and ask where their numbers come from.

Thanks. It does answer my question since every line of it says something along the lines of "reported missing".
And the sources are linked, so no need to contact them.
Let's have a look.
Australia.. link goes to a 404 not found.
Canada: "62% of missing adult reports were removed within 24 hours, while 90% were removed within a week"
Germany. Site quotes 100k. The source says 114k hotline calls, 60k missing reports, 99% being resolved with the kids unharmed. So they are quoting the wrong number.
India. Link goes to a 404
Jamaica and Russia, both sources don't load.
Spain, another 404.
UK. Also a 404
US: 460k missing reports for juveniles. 634,908 new reports filed. 634,742 reports cleared. Leaving a difference of 166 reports.
Make of that what you will, but I don't find this very convincing at all. Lots of misquoting and leaving out important context that most of these are resolved as quickly as they come in.
Oops, quoted the wrong section for Canada, here's the relevant part:
"76% of missing children/youth reports (male and female) are runaways.
58% of missing children/youth reports were removed within 24 hours, while 91% were removed within a week"
Cool. Im glad the website helped!
