Cleveland: the city where nearly 30 children disappeared in two weeks
In the space of just two weeks, nearly 30 children have gone missing in Cleveland, prompting great concern from the local police chief who said he has never seen anything like it in his 33-year career. Cleveland is a medium-sized city, with about 400,000 inhabitants, and these numbers are frightening.
Newburgh Heights Police Chief John Majoy told reporters that 27 missing children were reported in the Cleveland area.
"It's a silent crime happening under our noses," he said. “The problem is: where are they? Where are they going? They may find themselves in a drug dealing place or being targeted for prostitution or being involved in drug trafficking or gangs.”
Speaking to reporters, he called the number of missing children, aged between 12 and 17, unprecedented.
“There are always peaks and valleys with missing persons, but this year feels like an extraordinary year,” she told Fox News Digital . “For some reason, in 2023, we've seen far more of them than we normally see, which is worrying in part because we don't know what's happening to some of these kids, whether they've been trafficked or if they're involved in gang activity. or drug".
Cleveland Police recorded that the boys were reported missing between May 2 and 16.
As The Sun reports , more than 15,000 children were reported missing in Ohio last year, and four of them were found dead. In more than 8,500 cases, there was some form of abduction, and 34 cases involved abductions by a noncustodial parent.
According to a report by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, only five of the cases are due to the abduction of children by an outsider. The police managed to find 36% of the children, in other cases the children returned home independently or were found by their parents, but at the beginning of 2023 there were still 615 missing.
It is shocking that Cleveland Police records show 25 other youths disappeared between May 17 and May 31. What's going on in Cleveland?
