\"\"The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), in collaboration with federal, state, and local agencies across seven federal districts, led a six-week national operation that located 200 critically missing children, including endangered runaways and those abducted by noncustodial persons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Operation We Will Find You 2 (OWWFY2), held from May 20 to June 24, focused on areas with high numbers of missing children. These children are often in serious danger and vulnerable to crimes like trafficking and abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n

With help from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), OWWFY2 rescued 123 children from dangerous situations and found 77 more in safe locations. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Of the 200 children, 173 were endangered runaways, 25 were otherwise missing, one was a family abduction, and one was a non-family abduction. <\/span><\/p>\n

The youngest child recovered was five months old. Fourteen children were found outside their cities of disappearance, and 57% were recovered within seven days of USMS involvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\u201cOne of the most sacred missions of the U.S. Marshals Service is locating and recovering our nation\u2019s critically missing children,\u201d said USMS Director Ronald L. Davis. \u201cThis is one of our top priorities as there remain thousands of children still missing and at risk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOperation We Will Find You is a shining example of the results we can achieve when we unite in our mission to find missing children,\u201d said NCMEC President and CEO Michelle DeLaune. \u201cWe are grateful that vulnerable children have been recovered as part of this operation, and we commend the U.S. Marshals Service and all the agencies involved for their commitment to protect youth and ensure these children are not forgotten. Behind every statistic, there is a child who deserves to grow up safe from harm.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
