The U.S. Marshals Service and numerous Florida law enforcement agencies rescued 43 critically missing children across multiple states, a Thursday press release said.

The rescued children were found in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and across 14 counties in Florida, according to the Marshals Service. The victims were identified as critically missing because of potentially violent situations they may face or other concerning circumstances, like substance abuse, sexual exploitation, and domestic violence.
