    1. 2,500 PER DAY go missing in America and these clowns want a pat on the back for only saving 200?
      200 out of 2,500 PER DAY
      Those are terrible rates.
      Then for you to have to have a “special operation” only to recover 200 out of 2,500 PER DAY is shameful.
      DO BETTER!!!!!

    2. Finally???? We had one and Biden shut it down literally on day one of getting into office.. I swear yall are just asleep or just don’t listen

    3. @@commoncentsamerican Thank you for saying this, I was thinking the same.. We cannot blame the marchalls who are doing their best, its mass investment thats needed. I also wonder how many of the poor little ones are amongst them after being sent over the southern borders alone with just a phone number written on their underwear?? What a world we are living in.

    5. @@commoncentsamericanFunny how you are trying to blame the U.S Marshals instead of the disgusting monsters that commit these atrocious crimes….

  4. Why did the brothers RUN AWAY from their MOTHER?????maybe they had to escape her abuse and you put them right back into it?????…

    2. @@brendabailey4319 I watched it. None of the children that they “saved” was abducted. They were running from their abusers just to be brough back to them. The operation was just a show for the news. No child was actualy helped. Everything is just show and that is why there are so many real abduction cases. There are even many innocent people in jail by the way. Because silly people just want to see some “action”. (I am sorry for my bad english).

    5. @@onewotldgovernmentonlywhen9044 This was a different case. What the hell? I watched the video. Cleary you wern’t paying attention. They didn’t helped anybody. They were just demonstrating that they were working. And the peolple like you believed it. That is why there are predators. Itbis the same with drugs. They are proud when they find a big bag of meth. At the same time they allow the dielers to do whatever they want. Once again I apologies for my bad english but I am angry when the people believe stupid political liers everywhere in the world. This is very bad and leads to bad things.

    2. Most children that are abducted by strangers are not going to put the child or children in school, those children are usually sold. Now if an estranged spouse enters the child/children, as long as he has their birth certificates they would not be suspicious. My father didn’t have any problems, there were 4 of us, our dad wanted to move and my mom had enough of moving, so she stayed in Wisconsin, and we moved to Texas.

    3. @@cleo1618 The only children who don’t return to school are the ones whose parents have already filed a report and notified the school. Although there are parents who have murdered their child, and report their child missing, either way, the school would know.

  9. I really hope that the kids that run away, especially those that have run multiple times, have been investigated to find out the root cause for their behavior so they aren’t being put back into an abusive home. Sometimes kids escape bad home lives.

    3. Offcourse they’re being placed back in the abusers home. Then in a few years everyone will be screaming about locking them up because of their drug and criminal activity. The cycle is round.

    1. Without family counseling to help sort out the dynamics between the members I don’t think it is likely things will improve after the child is returned. Unfortunately the child’s parents are as much of a problem as the child is. No one within the family group knows how do interact without things escalating out of control.

    2. its very likely that there are bad things happening at home if they keep running away. i wish police and cps would do more investigative work when kids keep running away

    3. A lot of the problem is we don’t have enough foster care and the legal system doesn’t know where to put these kids to protect them from the street or from human trafficking. Obviously these children are not criminals so they don’t want to put them in juvenile hall because that will just make them Institutionalized criminals eventually. We really need more foster care safe foster care.

    2. Ya its bad.. tbf tho, those are reports if I’m not mistaken.. majority are probably resolved within 24hr if that’s the case. Not making any excuses tho, it’s still bad

    3. The govt is in on selling them. No way that can’t do more. There’s a girl missing from my city and they know she was taken. No fbi here. There help is selective.

    4. Most children reported missing in the US are runaways – 91%. The next largest group of missing kids are kids abducted by family members, which is often the result of a custody dispute. Other nations may not add cases like that to their statistics that is why the US’s appears so high.

  13. This only works if these children get the counseling and support that will help them deal with the issues that caused them to run away to begin with. Returning a 15 year old to a house they ran away from does not mean they are safe.

    1. Agreed! And to PREVENT easy access to kids ONLINE AND IN PHYSICAL SPACES as well as being CLEAR what is appropriate and inappropriate adult/minor interaction.

  15. I was 15 when the cops returned me to my mothers house. After begging them not to tell her I was pregnant the cops told her anyways. The situation escalated after the police left and I had to jump out a second story window, in the middle of a cold night, without a jacket, and walk 13 miles in order to get to safety. There is a reason why some kids run away, returning them might put them into a bad situation. There needs to be support given to make sure that these kids are being left in a safe environment.

    3. You were just a bad kid.
      Pregnant at 15.
      Someone in the house did it??
      You weren’t the last.

      There’s bad kids all over the world and all over history.

  20. I was in foster care at 15. Straight A student, played varsity sports and a member of the Key Club. Never in any trouble but my abusive parents were done parenting. One day my drunk father drove me and my 13 year old sister to the courthouse and dropped us off at the front desk. He said “these are my kids and I don’t want them”. He turned and walked away. My sister and I were in foster care for three months. The system gave us back to our parents because our parents eventually changed their minds and agreed to take us back. I think they ran out of party money and realized they got more money from the state if they had kids. I always dreamt of running away but was too scared to. I’m glad I didn’t because the streets would have been worse. But the point to my story is that kids that run away run away for a reason. It takes a lot of heartache to make the decision to leave. I’m so glad these kids were found but they need help beyond being sent back to their parents!!!

    1. I ran around that age and in my case the streets were more of a home than my mom’s house was. I’ll never forget a lady buying me a hamburger after she saw me panhandling and thinking this stranger treated me with more kindness than my own mother ever did.
