The majority of children who go missing do come home. Many people return to their family whether they've strayed off or there was a miscommunication.

According to the Polly Klaas Foundation, 98% of children reported missing came home. 9 percent of those who are kidnapped by a family friend are abducted. Only a tiny minority of stranger abductions are kidnappings. However, the fact remains that if it happens to one child, it's one child too many.
