The numbers of missing children and people are staggeringly large.What the heck is happening to them all is anyones guess.Very Creepy.

Gosch, Boystown, the UK problems. Then there's the lone wolf crazies, remember the story about a year back of the three women that were kept in some guys sex dungeon for 10 years? Picked up off the street as kids?

To figure out what happens to them you don't need to do much guessing.

Attention: There are not hundreds of thousands of missing children. Please stop believing that misconception.

This is from 1999 but it has held constant:

An estimated 115 children were the victims of “stereotypical” kidnapping. These “stereotypical” kidnappings involved someone the child did not know or was an acquaintance. The child was held overnight, transported 50 miles or more, killed, ransomed or held with the intent to keep the child permanently.

and

The murder of an abducted child is rare, and an estimated 100 cases in which an abducted child is murdered occur in the U.S. each year.

Please read this source so you won't fall for the inflated numbers again: Source

There are enough over-protective parents in the world without people believing that HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of kids vanish each year. Come on, folks... use a little common sense.

Wow, not what I was expecting from the headline, but I'd like to see the jerk disappear.......slowly.....

Glad that child was recovered. Far too many aren't. These days, the sort that takes them are far too organized for comfort.

It's not a rant, it's a factual reminder that these incidents are extremely rare and that wrapping your children in protective bubbles is an over-reaction by emotional types like yourself.

***MEDIA RELEASE***
CHILD ABDUCTION SUSPECT ARRESTED:

During the last 24 hours Lincoln County detectives focused on a suspect who resides in Sprague. Additional evidence, interviews, DNA collection, and surveillance was conducted. A search warrant was executed at the suspect’s residence in the town of Sprague. A photo montage was also utilized and one of the siblings positively identified the suspect.

After a thorough investigation a 15 year old male has been arrested by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Detectives on charges of Kidnapping 2nd degree. The suspect has been booked into a juvenile facility and reports are being forwarded to the Lincoln County Prosecutors Office for official charging recommendations. Because the arrested suspect is a juvenile we will not be releasing any further information about him.

Lincoln County Sheriff

That is just a portion of the official press release, you can view the whole thing on their FB page.

So glad they got him! Looks like the other attempted kidnappings were done by a different guy so hopefully they will get him soon too.

Feel free to let YOUR kids have all the freedom and unsupervised time they want.

You do have kids, right?

My child was molested a half a block from her school while I was walking to meet her. I feel fortunate that it wasn't more then it was.

Most abductions are by a family member in a domestic dispute. I read too.

It doesn't matter if it's 100 or 100,000. It matters if it's only one.

Seriously? That's your response?

I've heard the "hundreds of thousands of people go missing every year" line in multiple threads and it is simply NOT TRUE. It's a fear that is completely unfounded.

I pointed out the facts and you say I'm ranting... then you bring the stupid "when it's your kid..." angle into it. Don't be so trite.

At no point did I say that parents shouldn't be cautious. I simply said that this new-found belief that there's someone waiting around every corner to steal your children is completely ludicrous.

Who's saying that?

You're allowing your emotions to twist what people are saying.

No one is saying kidnapping doesn't exist. We're saying that it's not a giant epidemic that everyone should be constantly on high alert over. There are not hundreds of thousands of kids being abducted every year.

Compare it to saying "1 in 3 people worldwide have been stricken with a deadly flesh-eating virus" versus "3 people in a small village in Africa have been stricken with a deadly flesh-eating virus." Obviously, the level of fear and panic for each scenario is vastly different.

If it was happening on anywhere near the scale doom porn peddlers would have us believe, the story wouldn't be "Child is abducted," it would be "When are we going to put a stop to this scandal?."

You are squabbling numbers on abducted children?

Is that the same as "a little bit raped"?

a reply to: Annee

The poster is just pointing out facts,

many are reported missing however a majority are later found.

If you take that as saying Rape or abduction is OK because its only smaller numbers than many believe then you have serious issues.

Its a fact that 1000s even more are reported however a majority are found, No its not OK that these happen even once or to one person or child however lets not make up crap or insinuate others mean something when they don't.

Is that the same as "a little bit raped"?

I need the Captain Piccard face palm pic to reply to this, did you really just post that, are your personal feeling getting the better of you and making you loose a bit control and rationality in this thread?

Sorry for what has happened to you and yours, don't let that blind you or think anyone is saying that its OK what happens by pointing out facts.

a reply to: Answer

Just let it go,

If it helps others and their loved one feel safer by how they do things then just let it go,

The facts speak for themselves, some don't want facts for a number of reasons which can be good and bad all at the same time for any individual.

You read what Annie has been through so just let it go, you said what you said and pointed out the facts, that should be enough and your words shouldn't be taken mean anything other than what they meant not that you were sqaubling numbers or saying anything as such is anywhere near being OK.

Whelp, looks like law enforcement has found the bad guy.

So where's all the apologies from the people on this thread who espoused multidimensional beings, "tall man" attacks, and alien abduction attempts? You were spectacularly wrong.

There is a segment of the people on this board who automatically jump to the most insane, least plausible explanations for anything that happens. Why do you do that? I would love to crawl around in your brains to see your thought process. Seriously, you need to stop going with these wild theories as your first choice. It only hurts you and your cause.

I pointed out the difference between the "hundreds of thousands" claim and the reality of "around 100."

The fact that you have a problem with that is just mind blowing.

If someone went around saying "99% of children are molested by their parents!", you'd be up in arms about it because it is not the least bit factual. The premise of this thread is not factual, which is why I posted the correction.

Comparing what I've posted to a claim that abduction or rape are okay is just completely ridiculous.

The fact you think the count is important is mind blowing.

BTW, I am fully aware of the facts. It's something I keep an eye on. I've watched specials and documentaries.

So you're saying that the situation is just as dire if the count is 100 per year versus hundreds of thousands? It comes down to a difference in odds between the two scenarios. Your child has a .00001% chance of being kidnapped by a stranger compared to .09% if the numbers in the OP were accurate. That's huge.

You're extremely unrealistic. Logic versus emotion... try it some time. I never said you shouldn't be cautious and teach your child to be wary of strangers but you are sure responding as though I did. Maybe you just have something against me personally because you are certainly not responding in a rational manner to what I've posted.

Are they abducted by aliens, Freak Masons or other satanic cults?

LOL, what an incredibly ignorant thing to say.

If you're such an expert on which theories of the hundreds of thousands of missing people are "ignorant", how about enlightening us instead of just being contrary. Where do you think they're going?

I am not en expert at all. I don't know the first thing about abducting kids, or people. Which is kind of why I think blaming it on the masons is idiotic. But since you asked, I found this using the Google.

Missing children

The most recent, comprehensive national study for the number of missing children estimated in 1999: [1]
Approximately 800,000 children younger than 18 were reported missing.
More than 200,000 children were abducted by family members.
More than 58,000 children were abducted by nonfamily members.
An estimated 115 children were the victims of “stereotypical” kidnapping. These “stereotypical” kidnappings involved someone the child did not know or was an acquaintance. The child was held overnight, transported 50 miles or more, killed, ransomed or held with the intent to keep the child permanently.
In 2014, there were 466,949 entries for missing children under the age of 18 into the FBI's National Crime Information Center, also called NCIC.
To find the number of children missing from a specific state or territory contact the state’s Missing Child Clearinghouses.
The first three hours are the most critical when trying to locate a missing child. The murder of an abducted child is rare, and an estimated 100 cases in which an abducted child is murdered occur in the U.S. each year. A 2006 study indicated that 76.2 percent of abducted children who are killed are dead within three hours of the abduction. [2]
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has assisted law enforcement in the recovery of more than 205,550 missing children since it was founded in 1984. Our recovery rate for missing children has grown from 62 percent in 1990 to 97 percent today.
The AMBER Alert program was created in 1996 and is operated by the U.S. Department of Justice. As of March 2015, 745 children have been successfully recovered as a result of the program. [3]
As of January 2015, NCMEC’s toll free, 24 hour call center has received more than 4,096,795 calls since it was created in 1984. Information about missing or exploited children can be reported to the call center by calling 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).

I looked and looked and never saw where these kids were taken to the local masonic lodges.

centuries ago it was dark hairy or tall humanoid monsters, today they appear like normal humans.

just as the ufos evolved from metallic saucers to colorfull balls of light over time.

No, they're still being reported as metallic saucers to this day. Colorful balls of light have been reported since before the Arnold description of metallic saucers 'skipping'. Fairly certain the foofighters of WWII predates 1947.

These people are mostly likely missing on their on volition, or simply meet with foul play at the hands of humans. Missing persons numbers may be staggering, but they suggest nothing nefarious beyond the human capacity to do evil things to other humans.

So the saying that most people abducted have high IQ's could be in correlation with the idea that only the stupidest or tastiest get eaten...that's an interesting twist...

You bet! They like kids (people veal) and they select for adults that won't be missed. It's easy to cover for missing kids, they wander off or run away or you can always blame some weird pervert.

For adults with a lot of connections and no particular reason to kill themselves, it's a lot harder to cover. So they do the mind scanning thing, and see if you're safe to eat. If you're a tasty looking specimen but you're an author, they might sample you a few times to keep checking. Streiber is in real trouble if he ever falls off the radar totally.

If, on the other hand, you're an itinerant worker, they might grab you and think about it a bit (Walton) or just munch on you. That's why a lot of the missing are homeless. They're fair game.

Or if you're standing watch and fall asleep. I used to tell privates all about the guys from Walker AAFB that were eaten in retaliation after the Roswell incident, when they got sleepy or were screwing off. Even to this day, aliens prowl the skies over NTC, waiting for privates who don't stay on their toes. When they're found afterwards...they're all cored out. We have to tell the parents they were run over by a tank in a dust cloud. Very sad. You can tell when aliens are sizing you up on watch...they make sounds like someone tossing pebbles near you.

Is this an attempt at satire? Do you honestly believe any of your two posts in this thread? If so, please expand on this inside knowledge you have about aimless privates and dumb adults and tasty children. Please humor the rest of us.
