The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has located over 6,200 missing children, and is “advancing the mission of protecting America’s children at a level never seen before,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a March 17 update about the agency’s “historic year” in 2025. The number of children recovered was more than 30 percent higher than the previous year.
Of these, 2,700 were identified to be victims of child exploitation, the DOJ said.
