The U.S. Department of Justice reports that nearly 800,000 children younger than 18 are missing each year in the United States. Many of these children are found safe shortly after they go missing; others are found, but not alive; and yet others are never found. Currently, in South Carolina, 44 children are missing. Some of them have been missing since 1987. In the wake of two high-profile missing children cases in the Columbia area of South Carolina, Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Bob Lowery of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children on the the current edition of Insight. Lowery explains some of the reasons children go missing, how parents and guardians can protect children from abduction, and what to do if a child in your care goes missing.
This edition of Insight airs Monday, 9/17 and Wednesday, 9/19 at 10:00 AM, 7:00 PM, and midnight on 90.9 FM.
