Last year, 39 missing children were found in Georgia and other states in a joint sweep by US Marshals and other Georgia state and local agencies in August. The incident caused a huge social media uproar. The children were aged between 3 and 17. A spokesman for the US Marshals told Reuters via email that the missing children “not all found in a single place (trailer) or at the same time. They were found in a variety of places – homes, motels, on the street. Only two of the children were found together."
The operation took place in Atlanta and Macon, Georgia, according to the US Marshal’s press release. The spokesperson clarified to Reuters that “the majority of the children were located in Georgia, but others were found in South Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida, Kentucky and Michigan”. The US Marshals told Reuters that most of the 39 missing children were “runaways who fell into the human trafficking realm” and 15 were sex-trafficking victims.
