Lines: 23 From: Emil RaineroDoes 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.
