Thank you @titusfrost, i would encourage others to look at the ncmec profile pages for changes and anomalies.

Though I didn't really touch on it in this post, it seems that the total numbers in Virginia are being suppressed/fudged/distorted. If this is true, what does that mean for the other states, are profiles being removed from those pages as well?

There could be some legitimate reasons for the profiles being removed like: false reporting and children that have returned home.
BUT, if that's the case why do they not notify the public that these kids have come home safely?
Wouldn't this be an ideal way to promote the good work done at the ncmec? I don't get it.

Even if there's some rational explanation it still doesn't explain the extremely high rates of missing children in Virginia overall (see part 1).

Thanks for the resteem and for your continuing efforts in this field

This has chilled me right to the bone. I have tears in my eyes. Thank you for doing this valuable research @v4vapid, I'm so grateful to you for putting this on the blockchain where it cannot be tampered with. Of course I have the worst feelings about what is happening to the missing :'( :'( You are holding the NCMEC accountable! I want to hear their answers to your questions.

The ncmec needs to be more forthcoming in providing comprehensive information and statistics to the public. They boast of integrating their advanced data analytics tools from both Google and Palantir and yet they cannot provide the most basic information. It's a fucking joke.
When I discovered that so many profiles were going missing, I was dumbstruck.I would also like to hear them explain how this happens, specifically what happened to these 39 individuals. Did they come home or not?

Excellent research. Kudos to you for doing the work and holding them accountable! Far too often we trust what we see, but nobody digs any deeper. You dig and for that I AM grateful! Bravo to you.

This is a deep DEEP problem and one I've been watching for many years. Since about 1993 in fact. There is quite a connection between missing children, Child Protective Services, family court AND the welfare agencies. At least in the one state where I worked.

What I have concluded is that many of these "missing children" were in families that qualified for public assistance. In my thinking, this is because these are the families that have the least ability to afford lawyers, investigators and money to fight the system and to EXPOSE the system.

There are children in foster care that have simply disappeared, (case records and all). So it stands to reason that those sitting in these "perceived" seats of power will simply alter the statistics and remove what is necessary to save face (and prosecution).

The high number of missing children will add funding to continue their supposed "high value" work pretending to search for these same missing children. But when it all plays out, they have received their federal dollars and they are starting to be exposed as potential "exploiters of children" they simply shift gears and downsize the statistics accordingly.

If this process was all above board you can bet your life on it that it would be all over the news about how great the work they've done in finding these "lost" children because this would show the "need" in continuing their efforts and the "need" for more funding to do their "excellent" work. Would be interesting to see their response to a FOIA request wouldn't it?

Here is a pretty good overview of Palantir's capabilities if anyone is unfamiliar with it:

Needless to say, the kind of inconsistencies shown here can not be chalked off as incompetent errors. Something fishy is going on.

Thanks for the link, it is important that people realize just how powerful this software really is. With this kind of data analytics, it really is hard to believe they can be this incompetent.

Good grief mate, seeing the faces makes it all so real.
So many families devestated and I would suggest many of them forever. When are the authorities going to get off their arses and do something about this dreadful situation? The child sex trafficking is getting more press and behind the scenes arrests are supposed to be going on, however it's not enough. The world should be up in arms considering the numbers and the fact that the US is supposed to be a civilised country.
Great work bringing this to the attention of Steemit and putting it in the blockchain so it can never ever be denied.
Resteemed buddy, the more folks that see this the better.
EDIT, I just saw your transfer. Thanks a lot dude, glad you liked it.

Have you tried reverse searching any of the missing kids pictures? Might turn up something. Also maybe it's worth emailing the Missing kids org and ask for a reply to your research.

No, I haven't. I think you're right and it's worth a shot. I'll give it a go, however the photos are my own screenshots so perhaps i'd have to re-edit the screens and then see if it gives any results. Before contacting the ncmec I want to be certain of my findings.

Jeezuz, the f*ck man... Do you remember that girl they found naked and strangled on the property of Buckingham Palace years ago? After 2 days of reporting, nothing else was mentioned and to this day... still nothing. Its as if she 'almost' escaped, but...

Yeah, I do vaguely remember that, probably shows how effective they are at covering up these kinds of things.

Was the naked man climbing out the window at Buckingham Palace real or some kind of hoax?

To see these poor children and to look at their profiles really brings it home. Equally not being able to look at many of the pictures in these profiles raises both suspicion and a multitude of questions. Once again I commend your diligence in putting all this information together, I know how long it must have taken you! Whilst many profiles appear to be disappearing to have these childrens names and faces held in perpetuity within the blockchain gives them all some much needed exposure!

Equally it exposes that there is something profoundly wrong within this system. If google has deepmind plus (alongside palantir) world leading analytic technology and facebook has military grade facial recognition capabilities then what the hell is happening? I think I'll leave that question hanging so people can draw there own conclusions!

Thanks again @v4vapid you have my utmost respect for all the work you've put into this!

I've been extremely suspicious of these people since The Honeybee started linking them to the Podesta family late last year, or early this year.

This is some scary ass shit. Having lived in a relatively safe country for the last few years, I have become a be naive to this situation and it is refreshing(in a sick and twisted way) to be reminded that the human trafficking industry and exploitation industry is big and powerful. The question becomes, who can you trust, who has been paid off and what is actually happening to the victims. This sounds like a story that could take years of work to get to the bottom of. Thanks for bringing it to the publics attention
