Please Help 35 Texas Families Bring Their Missing Teens Home
Its never easy writing about the subject of kids that have gone missing in Texas. A lot of the time, we have no idea of the circumstances around their disappearance. They could have run away, they could have been kidnapped or they could have been taken by the other parent during a visitation. No matter the circumstance, in October, 35 families reported their children missing in Texas. There are three families in East Texas that have been looking for their missing teen since as far back as May of this year.

Why are these kids missing?
No official details have been given as to why these kids are missing. It doesn't matter, really, because these families are in constant worry mode wondering where their child might be. It doesn't matter if the child ran away, was kidnapped, not returned after visiting with the other parent or whatever other reason, these kids need to be found.
The smallest detail could be the information needed to locate a missing child. Never be afraid to speak up.
The circumstances around any child's disappearance should never be assumed, the family just wants to see a safe return.
