“In the U.S. an estimated 460,000 children are reported missing every year.”- FBI via globalmissingkids.org. “In Canada, an estimated 45,288 children are reported missing each year.”- Government of Canada via globalmissingkids.org. “In the United Kingdom, an estimated 112,853 children are reported missing every year.”-National Crime Agency, UK Missing Persons Bureau via globalmissingkids.org. “In Australia, an estimated 20,000 children are reported missing every year.”-Australian Federal Police via globalmissingkids.org. And on, and on, and on, in every country.
Conclusion: When was the last time you saw a story about any of this on TV, newspapers, any form of media? This is a worldwide problem, going on for more years than we’d like to acknowledge. Don’t missing children’s lives matter? Doesn’t this deserve more time, more exposure, more effort?
If you choose to, and it is a choice, to live your lives in fear everyday over a virus, wear masks, gloves, social distance, etc., just imagine the real fear, not the imagined fear, that all these children are living, every day. When does reality replace imaginary in our society’s critical thinking of major problems? / Done

I started out a little nothing on Twitter 5 years ago. I always had a love for research, writing, digging for the truth. My very first writing class in Queens College, after I wrote my first paper, my Professor wanted to talk to me after class. Before I even sit down in her office, she says to me: “You’re very talented.” I said thank you, I appreciate that, but I’m also a practical kid. I knew pursuing writing out of college wasn’t a guaranteed job, so I became a Pharmacist. Now, as a Pharmacist for 44 years and an owner for 30 years, I now can devote time to my passion. My very first threaded tweet on Twitter was a hit, about how Sonny Bono was murdered, because even as a kid, I never believed that story that he died by slamming into a tree while skiing. It got a great response on Twitter and motivated me to do more research and writing. I was suspended from Twitter, but I always wrote on paper before writing on Twitter, and kept all my writings. I developed Thawts.net and took almost a year to rewrite everything onto my site. Now, anything I write is new stuff and about any subject of my choice. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing. Sincerely, Harvey Staub 👍🇺🇸

You posed a great question. I guess if it’s not a child that’s yours or one that you don’t know it’s not something you seek to know. Too depressing and unreal.
