The MISSING
As a parent I can not even begin to imagine the true horror someone feels when their child goes missing. Just imagine the day starts out like any normal day. You send your kid to school, or with a friend and they never return, nor or they ever heard from again. Whenever anyone goes missing the question about what happen to them never really leaves your mind. This is especially true for the families of missing children. Losing a child is the single most heart breaking experience in the world. Not knowing what happened to them has got to add to that, because there is no closure for the families of these missing children. I count my blessings often that I have never had to face this.
