13 Colorado Children Reported Missing in June
While you may not know these missing children, they are part of someone's family who is living a nightmare of heartache, fear and unanswered questions.
The sobering statistic is a dozen children reported missing in Colorado between June 1 and June 24 averages out to a missing child every 48 hours. There's still a week left in July, but this month's total is already at nine which I will share in an update.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children keeps a database of every missing child reported to them. The circumstances behind the disappearances are varied and often complicated.
By taking a look at reports of missing children - including one from Grand Junction - maybe you'll recognize the child's photo or description and help get these children back to those who love and care about them.
