The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children Released New Data in May, 2025:

Behind every data point is a child—and the statistics show that our efforts are making a real difference. In 2024 NCMEC assisted law enforcement with 29,568 cases of missing children and helped bring 91% of them home.

If your child goes missing, you can contact the Washington State Patrol Missing and Unidentified Persons Unit (MUPU) can help. They'll provide a poster with a photo for an active missing child when requested by a family member, legal guardian, or law enforcement agency handling the investigation.
