First, LA Models Go Missing & Now New Mystery As Nearly 50 Schoolchildren Go Missing In Cleveland In 1 Month!
"The number of missing and runaway children in Ohio for 2023 is nearly double that of states with similar populations, sparking panic among parents and police who in some towns can't keep up with the number of teenagers running away.
In this month alone, 45 children have been reported missing in the Cleveland area.
They join the total number of 1,072 who have been reported missing since the start of the year. | While the majority have since returned home or been accounted for, cops say many are regular runaways who will likely vanish again.
They say the rate of children going missing and running away in 2023 is unusually high.
In 2022, Ohio had nearly double the number of runaways than states like Georgia, North Carolina and Illinois, all of which have populations of between 10million and 12million.
According to the Ohio Attorney General's office, there are now over 45 missing minors in the greater Cleveland area. All have been reported as missing since September 1. They join the total number of 1,072 kids who have been reported missing by their loved ones in the area since the start of the year.
While police say most are likely runaways, they are struggling to keep up with the demand of anxious parents wanting to find their kids.
Newburgh Heights Police Chief John Majoy said earlier this year that cases of missing children between the ages of 12 and 17 remained unusually high. " DailyMail | Posted by Thrillz
