Where do they go? They can be in a drug house or farmed to prostitution or caught up in drug trafficking or gangs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Majoy, when youths need protection, they occasionally tend to turn to gang affiliation, which can result in initiation crimes like carjackings and robberies, prostitution, or drug usage which can lead to addiction.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of pictures for these missing children only makes the problem worse. There are more blank squares with the text \u201cPhoto not available\u201d than there are images of the missing individual when scrolling through Cleveland\u2019s missing persons page.<\/p>\n<p>According to Majoy, this causes law enforcement a variety of problems.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cUnless someone knows that person, then we\u2019re not going to have any luck,\u201d Majoy stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On the other hand, if the family of the missing child has personal images they would like to use, police can utilize social media to flood the public with alerts and announcements, which he called the \u201cgreatest asset\u201d of law enforcement in missing persons cases. This helps gather tips and prospective leads.<\/p>\n<p>The nonprofit organization associated with Majoy, Cleveland Missing, serves the area of Cleveland, Ohio, and the nearby suburbs. The non-profit is fully committed to supporting families of missing people, assisting with searches of their loved ones, and helping families deal with their emotions and grief overall.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland Missing was founded by Sylvia Colon and her cousin Gina DeJesus, who was just 14 years old when she was kidnapped by Ariel Castro in 2004.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cEvery family\u2019s experience is different, but there are some things that are the same for everybody,\u201d Colon told the press. \u201cIt\u2019s first disbelief, blame.
