288 UIDs last bread.

That is some fast-moving bread.

Yes 48 youths went missing in Iowa in a month, but that is probably ok

Here is a tour de force of incompetent, tendentious reporting, with zero evidence that the 48 missing kids are part of "misleading" statistical phenomena, but presented in such a way that readers who skim will be assured there is nothing awry in Iowa.

Zero factual reason are offered for downplaying the 48 missing persons reports, but several paragraphs are spent downplaying the social media attention.

Let's hope Jeff Sessions has an interest in this because those missing kids are getting no help from the media.

In Iowa, 48 juveniles have gone missing in July. Here's why that number may be misleading.

Heavy regional news coverage of the disappearance of Mollie Tibbetts, 20, of Brooklyn, Iowa, about 60 miles east of Des Moines, has led to more focus on missing children. While a missing child is certainly cause for worry, concern has morphed into rumors that make it appear as though every child who goes missing is the victim of abduction or sex trafficking…

Strangers kidnap about 100 children, a fraction of 1% of missing-children cases, according to the Polly Klaas Foundation, a Petaluma, California, nonprofit dedicated to child safety and the recovery of missing children. Polly Klaas, 12, was kidnapped Oct. 1, 1993, from her Petaluma home; her body was found two months later.

The FBI's National Crime Information Center missing-person numbers, which encompass all ages, back that up. About 2.5% of more than 650,000 cases opened last year involved suspected abductions, a little more than 45 a day nationwide.

At the end of the year, about 88,000 of all missing-persons cases remained active, which could include cases not closed from previous years. The FBI did not state how many of those open cases were suspected kidnappings.
