11 Washington Children Have Gone Missing in 2020
We're only two full months into 2020 and there are already several children who have gone missing since the new year got underway.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is a private non-profit group that strives to find children who have gone missing, prevent victimization of children, and prevent the sexual exploitation of children. They work hand-in-hand with victims, their families, and law enforcement agencies to prevent the abduction of children, the sexual abuse of children, and help missing kids get back home.
They exhaust all platforms available to make sure the public is keeping an eye out for these missing children. They have a database full of posters of missing children. If you recognize any of these children or think you may have seen them, you can call 1-800-843-5678 to reach the NCMEC's hotline.
