Noreen Gosch Speaks About - Jeff Gannon, Johnny Gosch And The ...

National Center for Missing and Exploited Children:
"To date, two such studies have been completed. The first National
Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and
Thrownaway Children (NISMART-1), was released in 1990, and
the second, known as NISMART-2, was released in October 2002.
According to NISMART-2 research, which studied the year 1999,
an estimated 797,500 children were reported missing; 58,200
children were abducted by nonfamily {sic} members; 115 children
were the victims of the most serious, long-term non-family
abductions called "stereotypical kidnappings"; and 203,900 children
were the victims of family
abductions." (http://www.missingkids.com)

abducted by non-family members, a disturbing picture emerges.

children who go missing every day!
Remember, these are only children that were abducted by nonfamily
members and only in the USA.
That's about a 1,119 children disappearing each week. And that's
data from 1999!
After considering the above statistics and the tragedy it represents
for humanity, it's easy to understand why Noreen established the
Johnny Gosch Foundation shortly after Johnny's kidnapping in
1982.
But that's not all. In the1980's, she pioneered both state and federal
legislation that ensures the rights of kidnapped children and their
families. You can visit the Johnny Gosch Foundation website to
learn more about the foundation's mission and its many notable

Noreen's informative and gripping book about the kidnapping of her
son: Why Johnny Can't Come Home.
Unbelievibly, now Noreen is threatened with another loss, as if the
