CCHO is located in Wooster, Ohio.
CCHO is the Christian Children’s Home of Ohio, a residential care organization that began in Wooster in 1969. The organization says its campus now has five cottages for up to 46 children, and its residential program serves youth ages 6 to 18. Most placements are made by referring counties, though private placements are also considered. That background describes the facility’s general role; the sheriff’s public notice does not say whether the three juveniles live there or explain their connection to CCHO. CCHO’s history and residential program information provide those details.
The details come from a Wayne County Sheriff on Facebook post, which laid out the basic descriptions deputies are working from as they try to track down the girls. Beyond the ages, clothing, and the location on Armstrong Road, few other details have been made public.
What We Know So Far
According to the same post, two of the three juveniles were last seen wearing all black, while the third had on a white shirt paired with blue shorts. The sheriff's office has not released additional identifying information such as names, physical descriptions, or photos.
It also remains unclear when exactly the three were last seen, whether they were believed to be together, or what CCHO's relationship to the juveniles might be. Those specifics have not been addressed in the sheriff's office's public post.
Ohio law directs law enforcement to take a missing-child report when an agency with jurisdiction is informed that a minor may be missing and the person reporting wishes to file one. The law calls for prompt action, including concerted efforts to locate the child, and requires readily available information to be entered into the FBI’s National Crime Information Center immediately after the report. The statute sets out those general requirements; it does not establish what steps were taken in this case. Ohio’s missing-child reporting law lays out the process.
