According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, there are a few significant ways that children go missing. Nearly half of all families with autistic children have reported that their children wander and have gone missing. Other ways include abduction, either by a stranger or family members, and child sex trafficking. Parents need to be aware of warning signs and know how to take action.
