I have been writing these stories on a regular basis since the beginning of 2016, however I don't think I have ever seen the number rise this much over a short period of time.

You read the title right. According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, there have been 21 children in the state of Colorado that have been reported missing since May 1st.

As a dad to four young boys myself, I can't imaging the pain that these families are going through. That's why I write this story, in hopes that someone throughout our area recognizes one of these kids so they can be brought home safely.

Please take a look at all of the pictures below, along with all the information released by the National Center. Let's work hard to bring these kids home this summer, so their families can spend the time with them that they deserve.
