There are currently over 50 Black girls missing from New York and New Jersey with nearly 20 going missing in the first few months of this year, according to the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. An investigative report by New York’s
Amsterdam News has detailed multiple cases of missing Black adolescent girls who range in ages from 15 to 19.
“We’re seeing more and more young girls and boys lured into sex trafficking or meeting someone online,” said
Natalie Wilson, co-founder of the Black and Missing Foundation. “These predators know how to navigate social media and they’re interacting with our children. Sadly, we’re seeing an uptick in kids who are going missing.”
