I hate missing children stories, but post them here so that the large family of ATS might happen upon some information or something could help find one of them?

I hope there is a happy ending to this story. So many missing children lately. The police were looking for a 3 year old boy in my area who has been missing for 3 days.There is just too much of this going on in the world.Lets hope he is found safe.

Stories like this break my heart. As accessdenied said, there does seem to be alot of missing kids lately. I hope there is a happy ending to this story.
