I think there's a false belief that white children make up the biggest number of missing children when in fact( proportionally) it's just the opposite.

Frankly, we were dealing with a desensitized public and media when we did that, now if you check our website, our children are just listed as missing child.

There are only certain people out there who can truly understand.

I think the narrative is good, the more the public becomes aware of this issue of missing children, the more lives that can be protected and potentially even saved.

Our frustration is, we deal with a very desensitized public, the natural inclination (about a runaway) is the child's behavioral problem is why they've left. We also see significant numbers of runway children who are running away from a situation, whether it's abuse or neglect or sexual abuse in the home. These children face unique risks when they're gone so we applaud the conversation and we applaud the attention that this issue is being given.
