Runaway cases account for a large share of missing-child reports handled nationally. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children said 92% of the missing-child cases it supported in 2025 involved children who had run away; its figures also include missing young adults ages 18 to 20. That national share provides broader context for local searches, but does not indicate how many cases are reported in St. Charles Parish. NCMEC’s 2025 case figures.
