A total of 150 missing children ranging in age from 3 to 17 were recovered in January and February during a joint law enforcement operation, authorities in Tennessee said Wednesday.

The task force recovered the children -- some of whom are potential victims of human trafficking -- in three sweeps throughout the state.

I have to question a group of people so hard on the hunt for liberal and Hollywood pedophiles. They have turned up zero evidence, they have saved zero children but they claim to be the advocates for these kids.
