In just five days, Operation Statewide Shield has delivered an extraordinary result: 163 missing children, ranging from only 2 months old to 17 years old, were located and brought to safety.

The multi-agency effort stretched across Florida, Alabama, California, Ohio, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Puerto Rico, and 12 other countries. 📍🌎

Authorities said some of the children had been exposed to abuse, neglect, exploitation and human trafficking. Several arrests have reportedly been made, with more potentially expected as investigations continue.
