The document discusses concerns about the increasing number of missing children reports and lack of support for their families. It notes that over 876,000 children were reported missing in 2000 and questions whether that number will continue rising in 2015. It expresses worry that little is being done to help families of missing children and that amber alerts and monitoring of sex offenders may decrease. The document asks what this means for readers and their communities, wondering if people will feel they need to limit children's activities and freedom outside the home out of fear. It concludes by encouraging support for organizations like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to help prevent child abductions, find missing children, and support victims and their families.
