So that's about 2,300 children missing. per day, which is just, I mean, you know, how do people even get their head around that? It's just to me, it's staggering.

Yeah. Yeah. And of course, then it gets into the whole idea of accurate information and information that is not accurate and access to all these different sites, etc. So Apparently, there are benign reasons. I guess they're described as this. Benign reasons for that children are missing. And then there are, I guess, serious. I guess maybe that's the word to use.

But, you know, kids will run away, right? Okay, so that's... Or there's a family... Abduction, right? So, and those are, I guess, relatively benign as opposed to what you alluded to, stranger.

And those are happy stories, you know, at the end. You know, it's like, you know, moving on. So, you know, I want you to try to remember because this kind of stuck in my head. I know Jacob was part of the story. He was on his bicycle. And, okay, so riding a bike for a kid is like,

holy right i mean it's like all right so you know right well yeah right it's kind of like when you get to drive a car okay same idea all right but try to reflect for us a little bit on um your other children when they faced or took out their bike

So, um, I guess maybe the takeaway on that is everybody, no matter how old you are, deals with this kind of a situation perhaps differently psychologically and physically. And we all have to kind of hug each other and help each other as you go. And as like kids mature, even those types of things can kick into gear.
