Five foster children who had been reported missing were found last week.

The children turned up as the state began listing the names and photos of missing kids last month.

Sixty foster children were on the Department of Human Services' missing list as of last Friday. time.com/time/search/printout/0,8816,53774,00.html

Just posted this to show you that there are success stories and that, regardless of situation, there is always hope.

You may not realize this, but that is very encouraging. Thanks for sharing it. I believe that according to the most popular stats not that many are found, but that simply may be a misinterpretation on my part. I could be mistaken. Thanks again.

Another point is that the media doesn't always cover success stories. They care about ratings and the audience watching. The audience watches and for the most part likes bad news - this the majoritiy of the news is bad with few good things.

It's very great to hear success stories. Sadly, there are still many more missing children.

Nonetheless, these stories show that we can help solve this problem, so we must keep fighting to do that.

I find this encouraging too. I think it is great to hear about children being found. What scares me though is when the Department of Children's Services are the ones who lost a child or lost track of a child. They are supposed to be protecting them.
