Here in NC it happens regulary , makes my stomach drop each time my phone goes off 😭

I personally have not known of anyone that has gone missing (other than Adam Walsh at the time - he was a neighbor). I get more Silver Alerts here in Florida than Amber Alerts. And I agree, with 800K missing every year, you’d think more people “would know someone” that was missing. when I was 27 and my daughter was 2, i would get the usual grandma/grandpa types stopping me at the mall to tell me how beautiful she was - but I was very creeped out by the number of 20’something young men that would stop us to fawn all over her! REALLY creeped out! So much so that I had an alarm system installed that included screens that activated if cut! that was 1989… and I lived in sleepytown Port Saint Lucie, pop. 26k… (then).

I only had one friend whose child went missing on a hike out west in either Washington or Oregon. She and I shared the same birthday and I was heartbroken for her parents. I don't know why or how but I felt that she was in a very dark place. She was finally found by a father and son hiking and sadly she was found dead. That is the only person that I knew. I can't even go there in my mind. I am glad I was a helicopter mom for the most part. I will never forget this girl's dad looking for her and he just had surgery on his leg. He hiked even though he had to be in great pain physically and emotionally. I am just glad that they had closure.

We use to get them all the time, Amber Alerts, but past few years we rarely get them.

3 girls from my area went missing and were killed in 96-97, supposedly the next girl he kidnapped got away and the police found out who he was and he killed himself.

No one personally…… but still wonder about Mark Himebaugh

Im in the Raleigh/Durham NC area and i get alerts. Not that often tho. When i was 12 i was walking to school with a girlfriend(we use to walk back then)after pulling over, a young man in the back seat of a limo opened his door and asked us if we wanted to go for a ride. He acted very polite and persuasive..i thought about it but ultimately never went...Hopefully the white hats have put a dent in the trafficking rings.

Every year there is warnings of suspicious vans around the schools in this area.

Had at least 5 alerts go off the day of my mom’s visitation. All of our phones kept going off. That was January 7

I don't know any parent personally who grieves for a missing child. The pain would be unbearable for me. I am close friends with my sheriff and he grieves over them all he's looking for. One in particular has been unsolved for many years for him. He once shared that he wasn't getting much cooperation in her investigation either. Another friend to many of us here lost her life investigating traffickers. Sen. Linda Collins.

i don’t personally kniw anyone who’s lost a child however, I get quite a few Amber alerts on my iphone…I live in TX.

I think that a lot of the children who go missing are orphans

We have several amber alerts in TN I dont know any of them personally.

We had one last year and the next day I had a wide awake vision and I could see where the little girl was. I was seeing thro her eyes, I knew it was her some how, she was in a basement that had a very small window lite half window at ground level, she could see the sunlight coming in thro it.
I tried to tell the cops there, it was in E TN and they just thought I was nuts, but I know homes in Tn and I can promise you in that area there are not that many homes with that kind of basement, not that many homes have basements in TN unless they are on a lake or in the mountains but most of those have walk out basements not the kind with ground level windows.
I never checked back to see if they found her because I didnt want to know since they refused to look. I could feel her fear and it really upset me too but I got no where with them. Crazy Nana.

weird that i was wondering myself the same thing lately. hardly ever an alert. maybe 1 last year? im in pretty much your area...you'd think there'd be 5,000× more considering the 800,000. what's this all about? is the alert to actually alert the bad guys when a kid gets away? i never in my whole life heard of anyone having to go throught this (thank God!) but the numbers don't jive.

im pretty sure they typically can determine the whereabouts of around 250k of those 800k that go missing every year. Dont know if that helps your gauge 🤷

My niece use to work in the maternity ward in a local hospital. She asked to be transferred because so many young mothers addicted to drugs would come in have their babies and leave them at the hospital.
I asked her what happened to the babies, she just figured someone from the mother's family would come and pick them up. This is in a smaller populated area... in big cities it has to be more often. Babies born, mothers addicted and don't care.... sad. How many of them are never seen again because no one is looking for them?

local Amish girl disappeared last summer solstice... never found

I run pages for local missing persons. Crystal going missing is what drug me to this path. The desperation and panic that comes with the missing is life altering. I cannot describe the immense pain and turmoil you live. There are no words. The veil was lifted in that moment. I pray for those families often.
God bless them.

Mark Himebaugh - was 11 years old went he went missing from Del Haven, NJ in 1991

Agreed. As a parent myself, I cannot imagine that pain and ever wanting to give up. God never gives up on his children, nor should we.

Hayleigh Cummings in Florida. Never Found. Tim Holmseth claims FL corrupt system knows everything along with Sawman Sawyer.
Maddie McCain never found, something very strange happened there. Suspects looked like Podesta brothers. Natalie Holloway still missing, creepy politician Vandersloot kid suspect. Jon Benet Ramsey murder very suspicious.

Rarely ends well. With much prayer by a large community this is a story that ended up with the child being found. Don't think it was an amber alert but made public on TV. On 4/8/2022 my neighbor's 15 YR old granddaughter was trafficked from AA arena and was located by facial recognition in OK. Because of some heads up work by private investigation and law enforcement, she was found on 04/18/2022. Thanking God!!!

I don't know any personally - as in friends, neighbors, etc. But locally we have quite a few, usually girls, taken off the street and we are rural and in a fairly safe little town.

I also worked in LA County dependency court (foster care) and kids go missing in the system - it is very very easy to lose a child in the system there. And cover ups happen a lot. I was a whistleblower on several areas, lost my job and house and DCFS followed me everywhere - they wanted MY kids as revenge. There is no accountability, no way to sue a judge or social worker - so very easy for children to 'be removed' and then 'parental rights' removed and no one ever sees the child again. Parents who have no rights to their child any longer, can no longer keep track of their child or petition in any way for updates or knowledge on the child.

Think on that - a corrupt, evil, broken system that has zero accountability, that terminates parental rights...who keeps tabs on the child(ren) at that point???

1. “unwanted” children CPP
2. refugees bring “unrelated”/abducted/bought children across borders
3. poverty stricken areas/countries sell thier own children to feed the rest of the family
4. impregnate girls at very young age in the system
5. teenage girls who want to run away
6. lab “babies”

*i am sure they have their sick ways that we dont even know about
