according to several sources, a child goes missing in this country every 40 seconds.

This is around 2,100 kids a day going missing. Our kids. Our grandkids.

This translates to over 788,000 kids a year here in the US going missing.

So, if you are a parent or grandparent, be a bit protective of your kids, because it only takes a second for some dirt-bag to lure a toddler close enough to grab them and disappear.
