Mystery as nearly FIFTY schoolchildren go missing in Cleveland in September alone while over ONE THOUSAND have vanished so far this year in 'alarming' trend that's left Ohio cops baffled

Police say the number of runaways and missing kids is unusually high this year
Last year, 1,600 kids were reported missing in the state of 11million
In Georgia and North Carolina, which have similar populations, the number was less than 700
Police say they are concerned the youths are being trafficked or becoming involved in gang activity

The number of missing and runaway children in Ohio for 2023 is nearly double that of states with similar populations, sparking panic among parents and police who in some towns can't keep up with the number of teenagers running away.

In this month alone, 45 children have been reported missing in the Cleveland area.

They join the total number of 1,072 who have been reported missing since the start of the year.

While the majority have since returned home or been accounted for, cops say many are regular runaways who will likely vanish again.

They say the rate of children going missing and running away in 2023 is unusually high.

In 2022, Ohio had nearly double the number of runaways than states like Georgia, North Carolina and Illinois, all of which have populations of between 10million and 12million.

According to the Ohio Attorney General's office, there are now over 45 missing minors in the greater Cleveland area. All have been reported as missing since September 1. They join the total number of 1,072 kids who have been reported missing by their loved ones in the area since the start of the year.

While police say most are likely runaways, they are struggling to keep up with the demand of anxious parents wanting to find their kids.

Newburgh Heights Police Chief John Majoy said earlier this year that cases of missing children between the ages of 12 and 17 remained unusually high.

'For some reason, in 2023, we've seen a lot more than we normally see, which is troubling in part because we don't know what's going on with some of these kids.

'Whether they're being trafficked or whether they're involved in gang activity or drugs.'

Sherice Snoden, whose 15-year-old son Keshaun is missing, said yesterday at a community search for him: 'It's been over forty days without my child. I just want him back home.

'I miss my child everyday, I am worried, I don't know if he is eating or sleeping. I just want him back home.'

Majoy told News5 Cleveland: 'There's just not enough police officers in the streets to do this as law enforcement.

'The public is our greatest asset. We can't do this without the public.'

Other missing children include 14-year-old Gideon Hefner, who was last seen on September 12 in American Township, Ohio.

According to the missing child report, he was wearing a dark colored shirt, jeans, black beanie and carrying a back pack at the time.

Camryn Nicole Golias, 17, was last seen in Akron, Ohio, on September 2023 but still remains missing.

Similarly, 16-year-old Elijah Hill disappeared on September 20 from Sandusky, Ohio, and hasn't been seen since.

Meanwhile, Iyahna Graham, 17, vanished from North Canton, Ohio, on September 23. Police have also advised that if located she should be approached with caution.

Days prior to Graham going missing, Teonnah Thompkins was last seen in Cincinnati, Ohio, on September 17, wearing a black shirt, black pants and white sh0es.

Maurice Hamrick, 14, Honesty Howell, 16, Elijah Hill, 16, and Chloe Hadley, 17, all disappeared within five days of each other earlier this month also.

A similar pattern started in May of this year, with as many as 27 children reported missing in the area at the beginning of the month.

Majoy emphasized that he has never seen such high numbers of missing children in his 33-year-career.

While Majoy claimed that it's likely the majority of cases are runaways and not abductions, he added that teenagers are naïve when it comes to predators, who he can be 'wolves in sheep's clothing.'

And, unfortunately, most missing children don't make the news, because there is usually no Amber Alert, said Majoy, describing the cases as 'silent crimes happening right under our noses.'

There is a strict criteria for an Amber Alert - police have to have reasonable believe there has been an abduction, and that the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost told the News5 Cleveland that inconsistencies often happen throughout the process, such as updating reports.

'All of these things have localized reporting problems that again are a function of local conditions.

'We do our best to encourage compliance and improve assistance to remove barriers, but at the end of the day, we have to rely on our local partners that we don't control.

'I am fearful of all kinds of things that fall through the cracks that include missing children.

'I rely on the tenacity of a worried parent more than I do a harried bureaucrat whose job it is to put data into a computer.'

According to Yost, the University of Toledo is now working to improve the statewide data collection and reporting systems.

He continued: 'Law enforcement can't be everywhere and can't see everything.

'We rely on the people, the population because we have 11.7 million pairs of eyes out there that can keep an eye out.'

Jokes are cool when appropriate but I imagine it's hard to even function in day to day life knowing you've got a young daughter-- a pretty one at that probably dead or kidnapped in somebody's basement.

Imagine the terror you'd feel and it won't be funny to you

Something was reported couple months ago on this , looks fishy

actually reading the article makes it far less sinister.
The headline should be: There is a parenting crisis. Most people utterly unfit to procreate.

Kids are growing up fast nowadays and feel strong enough to run away and parents sh1tty driving they bratty kids away. Vicious cycle
