Operation Meridian Finds 79 Missing Kids | Dayton News

Federal authorities pulled off a massive rescue in Ohio, Operation Meridian, bringing home 79 missing or endangered kids—many victims of trafficking, abuse, or neglect. Led by U.S. Marshals and backed by local and state agencies, the operation spanned the state and even reached as far as Georgia. Beyond recovery, every child received trauma care and support for reunification with families. Heart-wrenching cases included sisters hidden in a crawlspace and a teen found trafficked in Toledo—proof of the urgent need for coordinated action. This success shows what’s possible when law enforcement and communities unite to protect the most vulnerable. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
