This World is No Place Without the Ones that We Love
We live in a world that can be cruel. We live in a world that is not always fair. Strangers do the unthinkable to the ones that we love and cherish the most. This is no longer a world that you can allow your children to ride their bike to a friends house, as long as they are home in time for dinner.
Every day children go missing. Everyday children run away from home to have the freedom that they long for away from their parents. Some never return home. We watch the News Stories that tell the story of a child lost-a child abducted-a child missing. The News covers these stories for a day or two, then the faces of these children disappear from the T.V and are unfortunately forgotten to the public.
Parents don’t forget the curves of their child’s face. They don’t forget the love that they have for a child just because they are not in their presence.
If it was your child's story or a story of you, you would pray that some day someone would see your child and remember that they have seen them before. If it was your child you would long to hold them and kiss them again. If it was your child and your child did not come home, you would never stop looking-missing and praying for them.
Please look at some of the faces of just a few of the missing children. Please come back and look again when you begin to forget. Each child, and each person here has someone who misses them and awaits their return, if one of these stories was a story of you-you would hope that it was read too.
It should go without saying that if you have seen someone featured in this hub, please contact your local police department or the Missing Persons Bureau...it could be a matter of a child that is lost being found.

Do you know your children?
- Don't Speak to Strangers
No parent wants to learn that their child wont be coming home. No parent wants to think of their child being hurt, tortured, neglected and in pain; with no one around that can offer them compassion, love... - 9-1-1-Emergency-HELP! Parents today, dont take the time to know their kids
The most wonderful thing about children is; they are not adults. The most important thing you can do with your children is; spend time with them. It does not matter if you sit down and watch a television show...
We never forget the faces of our children...
I came across this beautiful hub featuring the worlds missing children. Please take the time to read the words and look at each child's face. The more people that memorize the faces of the missing children, the better chance they have of coming home to their families.
If it was your child you would hope people would do the same for you.

This is a nice thought, did you hear about that Maddy who was abducted on holiday, the one from the UK? thanks for your comment on my hub gorg x
Thanks Ann Nonymous for being the first one to comment on this hub. It makes me so sad every time I see a story about another missing kid. I cant imagine being those parents and not knowing so many things including if they are still alive, if they are sick, if they remember me, if I will ever see them again and if I do will it be in a body bag. Maybe someday the world will be safer for children and for all of us- but until that happens, I hope people remember to remember the missing and keep searching for them all... :) Thanks again for commenting :)

This has to be one of the worst fears of a parent - their children going missing. Thank you for keeping these missing childen alive in our memories and heart through this hub.
A parent's worse nightmare. I am a fan of the show Nancy Grace on Headline News. She is an advocate for victims. I recognize so many of the faces in your hub from watching her show.
Thanks so much for this very touching hub. Every little bit helps. If just one child could be returned alive, it would be a miracle.
Sage
Veronica,
Thanks for taking the time to look at this one. You are right-this is the absolute worst fear a parent could be faced with-far worse that death. I hope that just a few of the children that I saw while researching this hub are found-to if nothing else, give their families peace.
Sage,
Thanks you as well for taking a look at this hub. I 100% agree with you. If just one child is found, that in itself is a miracle. Guess it is a good thing I still believe in miracles :)
hc porter
WOW! That was incredible. Very nicely done. I am saddened by the affects to the children and I'm very glad you put time, and effort into a well presented message. Thank you so much. I have bookmarked the hub. :)
Thank you Cagsil, for your comment-and for bookmarking this one. I hope the message is well received and people open their eyes-perhaps then more kids will go home where they belong.
Thanks again...
HC
This is something that no parent should experiment. This is a dangerous world. I'm sure your hub will contribute well. Rated and stumbled.
Hypnodude,
Thanks for Rating and for Stumbling :) I know it is just an article-but I figured Hub Pages is world wide, just not local, so if these kids left the country they are originally from-then maybe this gets notice out to people that may have not known they are missing.
hc
i commend you on ths hub - well done by a very caring and selfless mum
Thank you Bonny2010,
I just know, if it was my child on one of those missing posters, I would hope that people would lend a hand and spread their photos for others to see and maybe it would help bring them home again
Oh you know HC I cannot even begin to imagine the devestation to a child's family when they go missing..I think even though I see myself as strong it would be the breaking point for me.
Blondepoet,
I agree 100% with you. I see myself as very strong and bendable-but if my child became apart of the Missing Children's Group-I do believe I would break. Thanks for commenting :)
What a wonderful service you are doing with this hub. I'm going to Digg this one. Also thumbs up.
fastfreta,
thank you so much for your comment and for Digg(ing) this hub. I know if it was my child that was one of the many faces of the missing- I would want for as many people to look at their face as often as possible-until they were returned home to me. Thanks again :)
Thanks for posting pictures of my missing son and his abductor. You can find out more on his abduction here:
You are more than welcome sir. I can not begin to imagine what you have and are experiencing. I will post the link you left in your comment within the actual article along side the information about your son and his abduction. May many thoughts and prayers be with you and your son-I pray you will be re-united soon.
Even though you posted this 13 months ago it is very touching and my heart goes out to anyone who has a missing child! I hope you were able to help someone find their child!
L A Dreamin, Thank you for the comment... I know if it was my child I would want as much notice taken as possible- even if I wasnt able to get a child home to their families, the more people who can recognize their faces the better.
Lets hope and pray that these beautiful children can be found safe and well.
As a parent, I could only just imagine what it would be like to have your babe gone from your safe arms.
Well done for writing this hub.
The more publicity for these missing children the better.
I have a place in my warm heart for these children and for those whose life and heart is empty without them.
Louise
La Papillon- thank you for paying notice to this hub and this cause... I appreciate your care and am glad you decided to comment. I hope that one day no child should be lost from where they belong...unfortunatly the world has a ways to go before we arrive there.
