Runaway Cases Make Up Half of Ohio's Missing Youth Reports
Ohio law enforcement agencies logged 15,367 missing children reports statewide in 2025, with 97.8 percent — 15,024 youth — safely recovered by year's end, according to the Ohio Attorney General's 2025 Missing Children Clearinghouse Annual Report. Runaway youth accounted for 7,656 of those cases, roughly half of all juvenile missing-person reports filed across the state that year, per the same report from the Ohio Attorney General's Office.
Black youth account for roughly 61 percent of all reported missing children in Ohio despite representing approximately 16 percent of the state's total youth population, a disparity Hoodline has previously reported in coverage of similar cases involving a missing Walnut Hills teen. Nationally, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children source describes 2025 impact data, including a 90 percent recovery rate, but the supplied excerpt does not display the total number of cases or the runaway percentage, according to the organization.
