According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), 1,533 children have been reported missing in the U.S. since January 1, 2024.
Missouri missing children
A reminder that not all missing children are runaways, but Missouri law also defines a runaway as a missing child. (§ 43.400, RSMo 2023.) I initially reported on missing children as of June 1, 2024. Several of those children no longer have posters on the NCMEC website, so it’s possible their cases were resolved since their posters were removed.
Below is an updated list including some previously informed names of missing children since June and July 2024. If you click on their names, you can view their respective posters (images). As indicated above, some good news is that a few of the children missing from June no longer have a missing child poster on the NCMEC website.
