  1. Story makes it sound like these kids are victims of sex trafficking, but careful listening shows that most are non-custodial relatives, plus a few runaways. These are important, but the media is spreading a false narrative.

    1. It says this in the story at 1:06

      You are the one spreading the false narrative, as if you think the sex trafficking of children were something that could get too much attention, or doesn’t even exist at all.
      Reading your comment one cant help but wonder what reason you could possibly have for doing this, and if you might be attracted to young children yourself.

    2. In that Arizona case that’s what they found. Most often, children are kidnapped by traffickers, pimps, and community pedos. There is also a black market for child adoption. People pay enormous amounts of money to “buy” infants and kids illegally. It’s a highly lucrative business.

    3. That’s literally what this report says.
      Why are you so anxious about them simply reporting what happened. Are you connected to a human trafficking group?

  2. Not so sure all kids in foster care are safe. You said the one girl was in foster care and ran away… not all state run care is safe…. At all.

    1. Absolutely true!! There are abusive and neglectful foster parents as well. They only want the funds and resources that come with the kids.

    1. They only cared about money CPS not child safety 😢wake up people to them you are just the numbers. They just looked at you that way may God safe all the children’s

  3. Children run away for a reason. Could be for a variety of reasons but most common one is probably because they were abused by their legal guardian or foster family. I really hope a thorough investigation is done because if they put the children back where they came from and they weren’t happy then the child might take their own life if they can’t runaway from their problem and no one will help them.

  4. Why are kids running away from the state is the first question. Children don’t run away from safe environments unless there are mental or substance abuse involved.

    1. We are failing children. Unfortunately, I have no political weight. Sad that the people that have power, the ones that can make difference, are not… I guess there are few decent men and women as usual in such positions. Try to keep faith in humanity but the days of people with great convictions and heroism are slow fading

    2. And these kids in these bad homes, are usually lured by some old, creepy man, and is often put into the same, or even worse, situation

    3. worked with the state they are horrible about keeping kids safe often time they get put in a foster care who only wants the money, when my wife and I started taking some in we did not want one red cent from the state and we let the kids know that we wanted them not the money and that made a big difference, we took in 16 kids mostly kids aging out of the system and brothers and sisters keeping them together, when they turn 18 they are just cut loss, all 16 have done well call us mom and pop got 29 grandkids out of them 16 only 1 we have not heard from

    1. ​​​@@headscrewedonright9030BINGO. Let everyone in including the people from countries that are very public about how much they hate us. Ridiculous.

    1. This state is sick AF. Every week there’s at least two new child predators captured and then released once their name gets put on the predator list. What that state trooper outta York did to the 13month old eats at my soul.

    2. Last year we had a teacher in Florida plead guilty to r***** a child multiple times, she got 2 years of house arrest and 10 years probation!
      The system if effed EVERYWHERE!

  5. Out of that 200 there was approximately 1 that was actually a true kidnapping. The majority were kids who CHOSE to run away, and were found in a safe environment.

    1. @@BPmmxFX Yeah, seriously. Did you not read the report and articles on it? The majority were kids who just didn’t want to be in whatever situation they were previously in, and were found in an otherwise safe environment.

      Even the kids they categorized as being in “dangerous situations” were largely no worse off than half the slums and kids in poverty, the only difference being they weren’t with the people the government wanted them to be.

    2. @@bonitalehtonen1254 I’m puzzled by your choices of emphasis, but I’m just noting that the actual reality of the situation is significantly different than how the story or the Marshalls office portrays it.

  6. Prayers they now investigate why all these children are running away to safer family members away from state custody aka foster care. Find the real problem, folks!

    1. This US is one of a handful of Nations that actually have laws and customs that protect children, veterans and the elderly.
      China has no such protections
      Russia?
      North Korea?
      Oil rich Dubai?
      Singapore?
      You wish you could live here. Wherever you are from, your children are dying to get here. No exceptions. Begging to live here.

  7. “Who ran away from state custody”, sounds like she had a worse life in the care of the state then she did in the care of the streets.

    1. I think they are “grouping’ and or its an out and out blatant lie. I was led to believe they “captured a ring of pedophiles” obviously that’s not the case here…click bait!

  8. If the child ran away from state custody can you really call it a rescue if you take them back to what they are running from.
