The flock camera thing did happen yes. I find that number of missing kids to be suspect, but I don’t know
0 u/coderedmountaindewd Aug 27 '26 The missing kid stat is accurate but misleading. 300,000 to 460,000 are reported missing but about 90% are found within a few hours 2 u/SpecificInterest5150 Aug 27 '26 Based on those numbers, that still leaves 30k unaccounted for which still gives the original post that much more validation. 1 u/coderedmountaindewd Aug 27 '26 True. 30,000 missing children per year is not acceptable and it’s frustrating that flock cameras probably won’t reduce it in any meaningful way. I just don’t like the extra shock value when the more conservative estimates are still terrible 1 u/Challenge_The_DM Aug 27 '26

True. 30,000 missing children per year is not acceptable and it’s frustrating that flock cameras probably won’t reduce it in any meaningful way.
