It is mostly children and teens who go missing more rather than adults due to their vulnerability. Adults don’t get taken as often as children and teen because they are not as intellectually sheltered as most children are ,and they also have most of an ability to fight back. Although most think that when these kids go missing it is because they are abducted, but most of the kids who go missing are in fact runaways. Even with most of these kids being runaways there are still a great percentage of children who are abducted (NISMART1) says that 42% of these abducted children live with single parents. Some may believe that in a single parent household the child or children don’t get as much attention as the ones who live within a double parent household.

You could also have family talks with your children to let them know you are there for them and to give them an opportunity to tell you anything they need to tell you such as; someone messaging them, someone bullying them, or if someone is taking a special interest in your child. This will keep you involved with your child, and they will not feel so alone. You can also make sure that your child knows you love and support them. This will increase your child’s confidence in your relationship with that child. Another idea is to make your children memorize their address and your phone numbers. If your child knows these things then if anything does happen they will have the information to make it back home. You can decrease the online time you child has due to most children find their abductor online and feel a connection with them so that they feel the need to be with them. Also you should tell your children of
