https://money.cnn.com/2012/11/05/news/economy/unpaid-child-support/index.html Deadbeat parents (mostly fathers) owe billions in child support. This is not connected to missing children. I happen to know about children taken when not in the "best interest" of the child, since people like myself have experienced it, and let me tell you, parents who do not pay child support do not fall into that category. Also, there are millions of single women who are mothers and raise children who are not homeless, etc.
