I wrote an article back in July about missing kids in the state of Texas. Sadly, there are a lot of them. So, I decided to update the list. This time, the list has a lot of kids that went missing many years ago. Their photos have been digitally age-progressed to show what they might look like today. Take a look at the pictures and see if you recognize any of them.

Some of these kids might be runaways but some, like I said, have been missing for years. The runaways may not even realize that there are people out there who love them and want them safely home. I can't help but get emotional as I read the missing posters of this group. It's heartbreaking, but it's important to look at these pictures. I pray these people will be found. 

According to the National Center for the Missing and Exploited Children:

In 2015 there were more than 13,000 cases of missing kids in Texas alone.

  • 86 percent endangered runaways.
  • 10 percent family abductions.
  • 2 percent lost, injured or otherwise missing children.
  • 1 percent non family abductions.
  • 1 percent critically missing young adults, ages 18 to 20.

AMBER Alerts have successfully recovered 822 children, including 30 recoveries credited to the wireless emergency alert program.
