Definition

  • Missing children, as a concept, is defined as “children whose whereabouts are unknown to their parent, guardian, or legal custodian.” The term refers to children who have been abducted by either a family or nonfamily member and includes children who have been abducted within the United States and those who have been abducted from the United States to a foreign country. It includes those who may later be identified as runaway or throwaway children and those who are lured away through child exploitation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Juvenile Justice; Missing Children]
