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.
Yes, I think about this too. I was a runaway and I was definitely running from a wicked household.
You said it ….SOME children……Some
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.
They used to tell the parents they wouldn’t look for the kids because the kids ran away. The pendulum has swung too far the other way
Same here..
This is Unacceptable and We should have Zero Tolerance for these Crimes and their Supporter’s.
Check the basement biden hides in! I'm sure they'll find more.
Accepting alternatives sexuality caused this
The president could stop it significantly by shutting the border. He doesn't for some reason.
I'm willing to bet that there's alot of rich people buying time with kids. Famous ones as well. Sickening really.
Huh? Do you think this is "tolerated" in any sense of the word?
Returning a child to the home they ran away from is NOT addressing the problem.
It isn’t but is it better than being sold as slave?
@@BABEEBEEHusually not
A kid who repeatedly runs away from home? I don’t think bringing him back home will resolve things.
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.
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
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.
@@Laura-ht6vs
and the foster system does not necessarily treat the kids well.
Well there you go. You said it in your comment, “I don’t think” That says all there needs to be said! 🤦♂️
What? 830,500 children disappear every year? In just the US? WTF is going on? A Million children. Every year.
Whatever state u are in, contact your reps and demand your state to find missing children
✌️
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
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.
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.

Why did the brothers RUN AWAY from their MOTHER?????maybe they had to escape her abuse and you put them right back into it?????...
These kids are going to be evaluated once in custody. They can report any abuse and be put in foster care by the system.
@@renatacuriosa They get abused in the foster system too.
@nillyk5671 that is true.... sadly 😢
Maybe they think they gangsta and don’t want to play by the rules ? Spoilt brats maybe ?
@@nillyk5671 so just leave them be then????
How many of these kids are running away from a bad situation and finding refuge elsewhere?
The refuge they find is worse
There is no refuge somewhere else if it is the streets, just more predators or worse.
@@caliopeknows844The cycle continues.
@@caliopeknows844 i'll help them
In this particular case the answer appears to be 77 of the 200.
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.
Thank you, I agree. Several others have made this note as well. The authorities know also; if they act on it. Who knows.
We all know why they ran away! ABUSE!
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.
@@Spiritlife01 exactly!
Schools need to check the database on every new child
AGREE!! And check on children that have not returned to school, or at least pass that information ont police!!
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.
@@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.
@@Violet316the word that I have a problem with in your statement is "usually". 😢
Leave the schools out of this because they can be just as bad as the parents.
Yes! Finally a taskforce for our little humans (and any others ages)!
So happy to hear this
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!!!!!
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
@@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.
@@commoncentsamerican How many missing kids have you personally found?
Seems like they are only finding run aways no actual abductees
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.
A lot of them are addicted to those little blue oxi pills.
Thank you US MARSHALLS. I applaud you 👏👏🙏🏻
I thought cops were racist, why would they help save people? I thought they only wanted to oppress colored folks
For what?

@@garbagestarkaloyanyou mentally tarded?
@@commoncentsamericanFunny how you are trying to blame the U.S Marshals instead of the disgusting monsters that commit these atrocious crimes….
Sometimes going back to parents is not a safe place for the child.
In case you haven't figured it out, a lot of kids leave home to save their own lives.
Yes that is true unfortunately and sad . But it doesn’t mean they should be trafficked.
TRUE!!! I did.
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!!!
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.
@@gingeralice3858That's so sad and I totally get it. 😢
It should be a major focus for our nation to find missing children!!!
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.
And making sure they live in homes that are safe?
And find out why they're missing.
Who looks for the bor-der kids that are missing?
Okay?! This. 💔💔
No one
The Biden administration don’t care….. he’ll they encourage this inhuman activity
Who looks for the Hawaiian chil.dren who went missing after the energy weapon attack ?
Yes those children who were taken away in the dark of night are still on my mind.
God bless this amazing team! May every missing child be found safe soon!❤🙏🏼
Terrible, this is horrific! Lock these abductors for life!
What abductors?
@@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).
@@brendabailey4319the vídeo said they were not allowed to leave
@@brendabailey4319one girl was being abused by a 30 year old man. Didn’t you hear the video
@@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.
what’s worse than getting trafficked into gangs and prostitution?
That’s what I was thinking. It’s a fate worse than death. It’s torture every minute you’re alive.
Being adopted, then having non blood leave gangs and pros the last better option. True Horrors, and it happens so young, the child knows no concept of real loving people that are kind and good people. It happens so much in the USA that people are numb to it, and adopt kids from other countries, because adopting from within our own nation is too scary for the posers.
Living with parents who are abusing you.
@@vanlepthien6768It's all bad I grew up in a violent household. But being passed around like a piece of meat to strangers as a child has to be horrific. They'd be better off not being born at all.
@@vanlepthien6768 that are not blood related.
Are they mostly teens? What about a small child like Summer Wells? 😢She would be 8 if found.
I would expect that it’s mostly teens- they are more prone than little kids to being trafficked because the young ones don’t tend to become runaways.

@@terribellettini450 💜 I can never forget, Summer is out there somewhere. When I see something like this video, it sparks the hope that she will be found alive...💜
Come investigate Tennessee. Please. We need help saving our future 😢
Definitely. Tennessee has the 5th worst violent crime rate in the nation, right behind Louisiana and Arkansas. If these three states could straighten up and act right, it would reduce the national violent crime rate by 21%.
Yes. Where is Summer Wells and Sebastian Rogers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@kprudhomme9287 yes, SUMMER MOON UTAH WELLS. Missing from Hawkins county Tn
@@commoncentsamerican Those rates include runaways - 91% of reports. The next largest group of missing kids are kids abducted by family members, which is often the result of a custody dispute. With both of these cases most the children are found within 48hours but are still included in this statistic. Other nations may not add cases like that to their statistics that is why the US’s appears so high. The number of REAL missing children in the US is closer to 13,000 annually.
This started out great but fell flat when literally not one second of this report addressed why some of the children ran away and why so many of the "missing" children were actually runaways. I think this is awesome but it's not enough. If I'm running away from an awful home situation, the name "we will find you" takes an ominous turn and would turn someone away from seeking help.
Build safe homes for kids that are runaways, throwaways , that the CPS system fails everyday. Parents and foster parents adoptive parents failing abuseing kids, emancipate these runaways allow them to work .build safe houses for them .
Oh you mean like a foster home😳
They weren't missing. They ran away. This did nothing for actual victims. It rarely does.
Good for the US Marshall's office. What about the FBI, though. The FBI doesn't work missing children cases?
They have different jobs. The FBI does investigate, but the Marshal's expertise is in tracking and recovery or arrest.
They're too busy colluding with the democrat hierarchy...
The FBI specializes in political violence.
@@kenneth9874proof?
@kenneth9874 good lord, the inventions of the republicants 😂 not even a US citizen but find this so hilarious and absurd at the same time 😂
I hope all of these kids are able to get the mental health treatment and support they need.
You got runaways. But wjat about the kids who are kidnapped
Most kidnapped kids are taken by a family member- trafficked kids are usually runaway teens.
Why are they giving the boy back to his mom? He might’ve left for a reason.
Some kids run away due to violence, abuse in the home. I just hope this is looked into before turning them over to guardians/parents
🙏🙏🙏 Thank you US MARSHALLS. God Bless You all! Thank you, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO ! Thank you for bringing home so many young children home. 💙🖤💙🖤
2300 a day...every 40 seconds? I'll never forget that stat. smh
90% are resolved immediately
There are only about 350 stranger abduction of children each year. Most are missing due to noncustodial interference, runaway/throwaway, benign reasons, and other quickly resolved issues. Most child trafficking is girls 12-17 used for prostitution.
It's a distorted figure. It includes custody disputes and kids who leave abusive homes.
Yeah, WATCH your kids, but it's still distorted.
Great work taking care of these kids finding them ✝️ much respect for you all ✝️🕊️🇺🇸
We have to save our children, our future 🙏🏾😢
AMEN🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Stranger danger needs to be retaught in schools. Thank you, Marshalls!!!
💯
A good number of runaways are fleeing danger at home.
@@vanlepthien6768 I believe it.
Operation #WEWILLFINDYOU how amazing! God bless you all 💙🖤💙🖤 Thank you so much for all you do.
Poor children, those that run away from home and have to return back to the unstable life they were living there, most run away's are running from a life of abuse, physical, verbal, whatever the situation, they are not looking towards returning to that life, they will leave again because the issue isn't with them and will not be any better the second time around. This is where some kind of agency needs to step in and see why these children are taking off.
I work in law enforcement and 100% believe that children run away for a reason. Some just don’t like to live but their parents rules, or discipline, but many are not in a good situation. Some just live in a home where simply no one cares about them. I take reports from parents who don’t even remember their kids birthdays, what they were wearing. One recent one didn’t know the name of their child’s school. If no one at home cares they go looking for someone who does.
Millions are missing and they’ve only found 200?!? Something is severely wrong here. What’s happening to them?
Sacrificed to demons in the basements of Hollywood, wall street, and DC rich people.
Glad someone else sees the absurdity in the difference between the problem and "solution."
Wait, who were the kids? How did they get there? And who were the ones pimping them out?
News report hyped trafficking but did little to support the claim.
Thank you for what you do! Prayers for the kids and US Marshals protection in this mission. ❤🙏
Is there ever any news release of who the children are ,where they came from? What happened when they went missing? Any news of them being reunited with their family?
Right?! We never hear the names of the children found. Not one child I advocate for has been located in a sting.
@@jubes38 then understand that the identities of children are not released to protect them
@@InvisibleHotdog oh I totally understand that, but……. It would be nice to know. Thanks for your input.
How about naming the perps/orgs who took them?
Kids wouldn't even go missing if parents realized their kids need to be watched constantly. I was super hyper and would run off and say hi to strangers as a kid, so my mom put me on a leash when I was a toddler. It's really not a big deal to do that since I was kept safe. It's not abuse and it should be a law nowadays. Way too many parents let their kids run all over stores unattended and that NEEDS to stop. Take parenting classes ffs.
Unbelievable… so happy and sad at the same time. The fact that many children go missing is just Heartbreaking… we have failed as humanity our children should never have to suffer just atrocities…
The cops in the towns where they find these kids need held accountable because they should be paying more attention to the children in their jurisdiction. Even mayors governors and city council are to blame for not protecting children in their jurisdiction to have kidnapped kids living in city's the mayor and city council ways in place looking for kidnapped people
In my rural county teachers have told me they sometimes knock on the home of their students to ask parents to let the children come to school. We have no truant officers so many children are abused and hidden by their own parents.
@@Cerceify that's why neighbors have to share the responsibility by paying attention to children they see
@@Cerceify it sounds like you need a new elected sheriff if they can't protect the people in their jurisdiction
So that every time you go to the grocery store, you can be detained to answer questions about every 'missing' child in the jurisdiction.
@agneslong2323 no but cops should know the jurisdiction and when new people come in check the database they need no actual contact unless they find a match to a missing person
Thank you to the women and men who risk life for all children. Huge respect.
Prayers for these kids
Thats wild.
Imagine the ones we dont catch?
Must be thousands ,
Hundred thousands,
Who knows but the buyes n sellers.
This is a shame, and very frightening. Children deserve better

Thank you ❤
Tennessee is horrible for missing children
Florida too.
Why is that so?
Florida not near as bad as Tennessee. I wanted to move to Tennessee but not anymore. There's something crazy going on there.
@@boycee1 Tennessee has the 5th highest violent crime rate in the nation, behind Louisiana and Arkansas. Florida was in the top 15 until their Governor changed crime reporting standards to under-report their violence. He changed it in 2021, and one year later they are 38th in the nation? Sure bud. Cool story.
@boycee1 there were 2200 arrests in 2019, found 39 kids in GA and some in Ohio and Indiana too.
So there must be a huge network.
Save our kids❤
Awesome! Thank you!
The Marshals are doing amazing work, but the causes for such disappearances to begin with need to be addressed. There’s a lot more that can be done beyond finding those who are lost.
🙌👏👏
US Marshals👏👏 The Missing Need To Be Found 🙏
Praying The Kidnapped and Abducted Are Returned Safe🙏🙏
I thought cops were racist, why would they help save people? I thought they only wanted to oppress colored folks
I can appreciate them finding children who were taken against their will, but hunting down children who ran away seems like a poor use of resources. One has to wonder why they ran away to begin with.
What so if they are a teenager and the parents are putting them in a data base saying they are missing. U think they should just suffer not knowing where or what condition their child is in. Ridiculous.
I ran away at 16 because of SA from my step father, I knew it would only get worse, then my mother got sick and would ultimately die . I would have been stuck with him. Not able to stand up for myself,I ran away,been on my on since. It's 20 years later, I've never recovered. I still struggle. Things could be worse. ❤
@@BreezybriefswithBrooke the OP does not care about this, he's one of them or support them because he's a maele like them..I can assure you no good individual would fins this operation a waste of resource and blame the victim. That's a technique used to reflect responsibility to the victim and to save the criminal.
@@HailMary888 Thank you 🙏🏼
A child goes missing every 40 seconds? Who is watching that kid?
A person dies every 11 seconds. It's really hard to find a babysitter who will stick around these days.
that 15yr old didn't wanna go and his Mother didn't look like she wanted him back
Thanks God 🙏
Florida has over 200 missing children from FOSTER CARE!
This is what happens when a government agency is privatized
Many of those are put into homes where they are abused and run away. C-P-S is often in on it. God help these kids.
Good to hear!
This is wonderful, absolutely wonderful!❤
Amen thank u holy holy holy father plz continue to step in and intervene for us all equally in this situation too hear our prayers with pure and purity of our hearts amen
Stop defunding our BRAVE OFFICERS
That isn't happening. Where did you come up with that?
Such a terribly, horrifying and sad world we live in that these animals think it's ok to do this to anyone!! Thank God for these Marshalls. I Pray for their safety as they do their work.
Open borders i blame biden
Why does it seem like meth and child trafficking goes together?
In America? This is still America? Close the borders then!
Borders have zip to do with runaways in the US.
Thank you for your service. Keep up the good work
People are so messed up and disgusting
God bless, keep it up. Thank you Ivanka!
Great work, keep on finding our missing children!
I pray for blessings in abundance for all those who helping in finding those children
🎉thankyou
77 children in 7 states. HALLELUJAH JESUS 🎉🎉
Man...thats just sick 😢
This NEVER makes national news. Presidents never talk about it. Local officials never talk about it. No one finds that odd?
Thank you heroes!
*this news should go VIRAL*
protect our children and thank GOD for the officers and detectives that made it their mission to find and rescue these poor babies 😭 😭 💝
Safe recovery. Hope so! 🙏
I pray for miracles and healing for all of the abused children 🙏🏼
Has anyone thought that if maybe they put this sort of effort into protecting children all year every year, then it would prevent so many more children facing such horrors?
This should be standard
Unreal
This situation needs to dealt with.
This is a beautiful story! Thank you Marshals!!
Thank god, poor children 🙏🏼 😢 😞 😔 i hope god protects them!!!❤❤
Thank you for saving those kids 🙏
2300 children missing EACH DAY, and it's NOT as important (aka making daily headline) as making homelessness illegal?? What a country!
My mom locked me in closets and gave me drugs and alcohol when I was 4. My dad got custody of me and beat me daily for trivial things. I one told a coach and instead of calling the cops he told my step mom. My dad beat me purple then put me in an ice bath and waited for the scoop bus to pass before he went to work. He ripped all the phone lines out of the wall and we moved across state lines again. Shortly after I had to defend my sister from being choked by him I was 14. I was forced to move back into my mom's home where she set me up for failure and made me live with her brother who is currently in prison for molesting her grandchildren. She Bailed her brother out of jail after he molested her grandchildren. I'm 35 and just now starting to cope. Also I'm a combat Vet of Afghanistan and I have issues from that too. I've been homless most my life and made mistakes but I'm defying the odds and becoming someone not a statistic. A like would help me get heard. Thank you for reading.
Every 40 seconds. That's crazy. It's not talked about because politicians, governors and rich people are apart of this. My God be with those kids.
Thank you to the US Marshal’s for your service 💯
This has helped me continue having support for the US Marshals. Because these men & women are putting their time, effort & resources to go after truly dangerous people while also helping victims. I congratulate them on their success.
Thank you US Marshals!
So many negative comments. I think yall are doing great work. Keep it up.
