Can You Help? 14 Children Went Missing This March in Arizona
Writing about and seeing all the children that have gone missing in Arizona is never easy. It's heartbreaking to think about what these children and their loved ones could be going through.
We never really know the circumstances of a child's disappearance -- it's possible they could have run away, been kidnapped, taken by one parent during a visitation, or any other number of circumstances.
No matter how difficult of a topic this is, it is important to continue spreading awareness of children who have gone missing. Spreading the word could help bring one or maybe even all of these kids home.
In March of 2024 alone,14 kids went missing in Arizona.
How can you find information on children who have gone missing?
The National Center of Missing and Exploited Children serves as a nationwide resource center for missing and exploited children. With their database, you can find photos and information on missing children under 18 years old, not only from Arizona, but across America.
Families can report their child missing here, and the public can provide any tips they may have on those who are missing or of suspected exploitation.
Why are these kids missing
It is not specified why these 14 Arizona kids are missing. The National Center of Missing and Exploited Children says that a majority of the time missing children are runaways, or have been abducted by family.
But regardless of the reason behind their disappearance, these children have people who are missing them and want to bring them home. What's important is that these kids are found and brought back safely. If you have any tips -- big or small -- you think could help, call the listed law enforcement agency or 800-843-5678 (800-THE-LOST).
