Almost 30 children were reported missing in the Cleveland area over a two-week span at the start of May, which is something Newburgh Heights Police Chief John Majoy said he has not seen in his 33-year career.
"For some reason, in 2023, we've seen a lot more than we normally see, which is troubling in part because we don't know what's going on with some of these kids, whether they're being trafficked or whether they're involved in gang activity or drugs," Chief Majoy said.
To leave tips for police on missing persons in and around Cleveland, call 216-623-7697 or email helpfindthemissing@city.cleveland.oh.us.

It’s so refreshing to hear so many people on this chat upset about the lack of concern this police chief has towards this situation. If I lived in that area I would be highly concerned! Children are being trafficked at higher rates this day and age because of how easy social media makes it to obtain children and he trying to down play it. It’s sickening and I think he should be investigated.

Everybody knows there are government officials involved in it, also child pornography, drugs, etc.. my comment was more of a rhetorical question if you had half a brain you’d understand context outside of your perspective.

That’s horrible. All kids need is a place to go where they feel safe and nurtured, so they can get on with being a kid.

You spend so many years trying to get your head around the damage that has been done. I hear you. Life was pretty much the same for me however I didn’t run away as we were homeless for 4 years!

He should NOT have his position after this broadcast! It's a HUGE RED FLAG SIR if it was one of your own you wouldn't be so nonchalant. Why isn't every single one of their precious faces being shown instead of us seeing their faces along with the date they went missing, the description of their clothing, where they were last seen❓They should be all over the news multiple times a day! I can see why Gena Dejesus was missing for 10 years with a chief like this. Why are we just now being made aware of this many missing in such a short period of time, perhaps the chief hasn't heard of children being trafficked. I will be saying some prayers for the kid's and all their loved one's for their safe return.

I have been on my own since I was 14 yrs old shipped from foster home to family who didn't want me I also turned to alcohol and drugs and was finally put into rehab thanks to my cousin on my dad's side of the family but at 16 yrs old I ran away got a job and at 18yrs old I called the police to let them know who I was and where I was at so they could take me off of there list the police woman said there's nothing they can do

We are living in evil times. When over 25 kids are missing from a city and it is "no need to panic " shows the amount of coverup. Pray for these kids and their family. There may be hope for a return of an abducted child but what kind of trauma are they going to have to live with. WAKE UP AMERICANS! They are out to get our kids. Through abduction. Through grooming. I am so glad my kids are grown. To have a minor child and to try to protect them from their peers, the internet, the drag queens. Even books put in libraries to groom. Yup. I would be in prison. No kid should be taught anything sexual. End times.

3 years ago, a woman attempted to abduct my daughter (she was 4 then) in Duluth Minnesota, she attempted this in broad daylight right in the middle of downtown while my daughter was standing next to her mom and her brothers as they were looking at hoodies on an outdoor clothes rack. The woman literally walked right past my daughter, grabbed her hand, and walked away with her, and had my daughters mom not noticed when she did my daughter wouldve been gone, as this woman tried walking with my daughter into a U shaped building in order to take her out the other door. Both the Duluth PD and the Sheriff's office did absolutely nothing until my daughter mom made a FB post that was shared thousands of times and people started calling the departments with concerns, then the corrupt PD 'acted' like they were investigating, but they literally did nothing except allegedly view surveillance cameras where they allegedly found nothing(Apparently a thief could walk off with an entire clothes rack and it wouldn't be caught on Downtown Duluth cameras or business cameras). I personally called and spoke with both departments, and im 110% positive that they were at bare minimum covering for the abductor for their tourism, if not being directly in on it themselves. This Chiefs reaction to this situation, and his comments are VERY concerning, and he absolutely NEEDS to be fired from his job, AND investigated. This situation with the cheillief is no different in principle than the recent high school principals who have been caught in child sex sting operations.

Perhaps I watch too much TV but isn't this the kind of case when the BAU of the FBI is called in?!?!?!! No pictures of any of the children during the story? Everyone and his grandmother has a phone and are constantly taking pictures, school photos yet many families don't have current pictures of these children? Has the FBI even been called?!

According to the FBI, in 2022 there were 359,094 NCIC entries for missing children.* In 2021, the total number of missing child entries into NCIC was 337,195. * This number represents reports of missing children. But hey, we don't want to panic the public!

According to David’s analysis: Divide that number by number of states-50=6,740ish divided by days in a month-30=about 225. That’s startling!😱I realize that’s a rough estimate, but still startling!
Vor 4 MonategLiTcH +5
@SillyLilly It's more startling than that, it actually averages over 560 per month, per state, using the 2021 number. 337195 ÷ 50 states ÷ *12* months For 2022 it averages to 598. That's an average of 20 missimg children per month per state! Which is downright mind blowing.The fact that more awareness isn't made to the public about the kind of numbers that are really happening is strange. I'm sure the number decreases when subtracting runaway averages and parent-child abductions, but not enough to make it any less shockingly terrifying.

Just because there's a raise in other crimes, doesn't mean there isn't reason to raise concern about these missing juveniles!!! Remember John Gacy??? His primary target were juveniles, and said juveniles were considered runaways!!! Even if they are running away, they're still minors and need to be accounted for... This is very sketchy.
