#4600andCounting

If a school lost one child a week what would you do?

Foster care loses approx. 88 children a week, what are you ready to change?

Over 4600 children are missing from foster care, and no one is looking for them. #4600AndCounting is a project born out of 3 sisters who were living in foster care and went missing in Kansas. Their disappearance ended up uncovering the fact that at least 70 children are missing from foster care in Kansas alone. Parentless children who have been abused, mistreated and without love have been groomed for predators - and it is time for us to let our most vulnerable know that we care and are looking for them. Most of the children who go missing in foster care have no missing posters and no designation. Many of these children are unreported as the foster families hide the abuse they are perpetrating, or more commonly continue to collect checks on behalf of these children for as many months as they can before discovery. #4600AndCounting represents the number of children we know are missing from "care." Most have no one looking for them; labeled as runaways. The danger they are in is discounted by the officials charged with protecting them. These children are EVERYONE's children. We need to step up and take responsibility for our missing children. It is our mission to bring these children to safety and raise awareness of their plight. You can make a difference. Join us in bringing our children home showing them they matter.
