Those are just a few of the many questions that parents of missing children continue to ponder during their time of loss.

One can only imagine the horrors these parents endure during one of life's biggest challenges.

Sadly, another nine Louisiana children have been reported missing since September 1, 2024. That means that another nine sets of parents or guardians, friends, possible siblings, have all experienced a devastating loss.

According To MissingKids.org, Over 1,400 Children Have Disappeared This Year

The website, missingkids.org, from the National Center For Missing and Exploited Children, reports that a total of 1,402 children have been reported in the US this year.  Fifteen of those kids were from here in Louisiana alone.  And nine of those babies have disappeared just since September 1.

Considering the crippling problem of child trafficking that has put a grip on our country over the last few years, one would fear the absolute worst for the lion-share of these beautiful children.

Exactly What Is Child Trafficking?

Unicefusa.org describes child trafficking as:

Child victims of trafficking are recruited, transported, transferred, harbored or received for the purpose of exploitation. They may be forced to work in sweatshops, on construction sites or in houses as domestic servants; on the streets as child beggars, in wars as child soldiers, on farms, in traveling sales crews or in restaurants and hotels. Some are forced to work in brothels and strip clubs or for escort and massage services.

Obviously, there are some who have disappeared of their own will, but many others might not even know where they are or where their next meal might come from.

Some are children who have been traded or sold like livestock and being forced into doing ungodly things just to stay alive.

Please take a close look at each of the pictures of these nine children who have disappeared since September 1, 2024, and if you happen to recognize one, immediately call 911 and report it.

You never know how great the impact of your call might make to a child being held against their will.
