Monday, September 9th marks Florida Missing Children’s Day.
Here’s a look at how the community will recognize past and present missing children in Florida and what leaders and law enforcement in our community are doing to combat the crime.
Monday, neighbors are invited to gather at the Tallahassee Automobile Museum at 10 A.M. for a ceremony in remembrance of every missing child in Florida and in honor of the efforts the community is doing to stop it from happening.
According to Tallahassee Police Department, 177 children were reported missing between January and June of this year.
In June, one year after Tallahassee teenager Lori Paige was last seen, ABC 27 sat down with the Tallahassee Police Department to learn how it has shifted its way of alerting neighbors about missing cases. For example, alerts no longer label suspected runaway cases.
