150 Children in Tennessee Recovered
Through investigations and sting operations, the state of Tennessee reports they have found 150 missing children in the two months.240 are reported missing just in Tennessee!
How is it that this isn't the top news story every single day?
Law Enforcement reports that HUNDREDS go missing every month!
Have we become desensitized to missing children because of domestic kidnappings?
This is terribly upsetting.

Re: 150 Children in Tennessee Recovered
That seems to be a large number in a state with a population of under seven million.
That said, I'm wondering if it isn't just a selective interpretation of the statistics?
For example it would be interesting to know how many of the hundreds that go missing every month are found reasonably quickly compared to the number never found, or how many are serial offenders that still have to be recorded when reported.
Or how many of those recovered were in the company of other legitimate family members.
So I'm not sure if indeed we are becoming desensitized to missing children as much as we are increasingly wary of misleading reports which do not give a complete picture.
If indeed hundreds of children do just vanish in a state that size it is indeed concerning.

Here's the BBC report:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56283634
The children, between three and 17-years old, were found in three "two-week blitzes" throughout the US state.
Five of the children were suspected to be victims of human trafficking, investigators said, and one was rescued as part of a kidnapping probe.
The recoveries are among the largest for recent missions by states to find missing children.
A number of arrests have been made following the probe, officials said.
The operation, dubbed Volunteer Strong, was launched in the fall of 2020. A total of 240 missing children were identified statewide, inciting the joint effort by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), US Marshals Services and Tennessee Department of Children's Services. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children also provided support.
Recovery efforts began in January and 150 children were found within two months.
The circumstances of the recovered children varied widely, authorities said, including children that left home, those living with other family members, and others facing abuse or exploitation.
In all of 2020, a total of 387 children were recovered with assistance from US Marshals. Several other states including Ohio, Virginia, Indiana and Georgia have also launched operations to focus on finding missing children.
Efforts to find the remaining 90 missing children in Tennessee will continue.

. There have been many interesting and very effective operations rounding up all sorts of garbage humans who have been mistreating kids for it, and I can't tell you how grateful I am for those who take on these cases with such determination.
