Missing Black Boys: Inside a Growing Crisis

from The Current

Teenage boys are going missing across Ontario and families say it’s not random. In this episode, we speak with Mark Kelley, co-host of the Fifth Estate, about his investigation into a troubling pattern: young Black boys disappearing, then turning up far from home often recruited by organized crime networks to sell drugs. We also hear from Shana McCalla, founder of the Find Ontario Missing Boys committee, who began sounding the alarm about these missing boys.
