This had been a topic few have wanted to address. It's too painful. But now our lost children are coming home.
The FBI in conjunction with the Department of Justice Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children launched the Innocence Lost National Initiative.

To date, these groups have worked successfully to rescue over 575 children.
