79 Missing Kids Found in Ohio | Tampa News

In a powerful August operation, Ohio law enforcement rescued 79 missing children—ages 6 to 17—through Operation Meridian, a coordinated federal and state effort that spanned the state and even reached Georgia. Targeting kids endangered by trafficking, abuse, neglect, or running away, investigators used resources typically reserved for fugitive hunts to bring these vulnerable youth home. Standout recoveries included two sisters found hidden in a closet and at a restaurant, and a teen discovered with a suspect linked to human trafficking. But rescue is just the start: the U.S. Marshals Service partners with organizations to ensure long-term care, counseling, and family reunification so these children can heal and rebuild their lives.
