Somebody stop this mess, please
I looked it up and it’s not confirmed that these children were kidnapped or if they ran away. The police for the area are citing statistics to try and calm people down, stating that missing persons cases have actually been decreasing over the years. Other websites are also simply referencing numbers to calm people down but I found something from an actual black person on the matter.

X)Derrica Wilson, co-founder of the Black and Missing Foundation, says the effort is a strong first step.
“Getting the information out there is great,” Wilson said. “There’s something clearly going on, and we really have to identify what the issues are.”
“If they’re running away, we need to find out what the underlying issue is, for them leaving the home,” Wilson said. “And we need to find them, because the world is cold out there.”
