Urgent: 8 Children Missing in Illinois Since June 1

If you have children and you know where they are right now, you are blessed. For 8 families in Illinois, that is not something they can say as their kids have gone missing some as recently as just days ago.

According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, there are 8 children younger than 18 that are unaccounted for just since June 1. If you have any information, no matter how trivial it may seem to you, you can call their 24-Hour Call Center at 1-800-843-5678.

I've heard some say that many missing children cases are runaways that don't want to be found. First, I would say that's a terrible thing to assume, but even if that's true, these are still kids that need help. That's why it's imperative to contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited children or local Illinois law enforcement if you have any information that might lead authorities to the whereabouts of these kids. One tiny bit of information that doesn't seem important to you might be a game-changer for helping a family in Illinois have a happy ending.
