5 North Dakota Children Reported Missing In Past Two Weeks

This isn't something we want to think about, but if you're a parent, you already do. You worry about your kids. It comes with the territory. The reality is that things have changed over the years. We aren't leaving our doors unlocked and playing outside without supervision. You have to be careful. Danger is lurking everywhere.

It came to my attention that just in the past few weeks, 5 children have been reported missing in North Dakota. We don't know the circumstances surrounding these cases -whether they are runaways or abductions- but we do know they have been reported missing by their primary caregivers, and either way a child is missing, and that's never okay.
