Nearly 30 juveniles were reported missing in greater Cleveland over a two-week stretch, which Newburgh Heights Police Chief John Majoy said he has never seen in his 33-year career.
Nearly 30 juveniles under 18 years old have been reported missing in a two-week span in May 2023, and many do not have photos which creates problems for law enforcement.
It is more likely a majority of cases are runaways versus abductions, Majoy said, but young teenagers are naive and susceptible to predators, who are"wolves in sheep's clothing." "It's a silent crime that happens right under our noses," he said."The problem is where are they? Where do they go? They can be in a drug house or farmed to prostitution or caught up in drug trafficking or gangs."Newburgh Heights, Ohio, Police Chief John Majoy.
