Does anyone have any figures on the number of missing children each year?
I saw a lot of trailer trucks with pictures of missing children.  I also
see pictures on milk cartons and newspapers.  Does anyone know what percentage
of the missing are runaway/kidnapped/killed/etc?  I thought of a fairly simple 
(read costly) way of finding some of the missing children.  If a means of child
identification (finger prints?, foot prints, retina, whatever) was developed,
having schools send in all new students identification to some place
(FBI, Police, kidnapping is a federal offense!!!),  a lot might be found.


Sure it requires money, what doesn't.  If we can check for criminals we can
check for kids. After all, which is more important.
