Twenty-five endangered missing children were recovered in Southeast Michigan in a 10-week federal investigation, officials said Wednesday.
The kids who were found included runaways and those who'd been abducted. Authorities with the U.S. Marshals Service said the effort, called "Operation We Will Find You," was the first nationwide missing child operation focusing on geographical areas with high numbers of critically missing children.
"The U.S. Marshals Service has many important missions, but I cannot think of any that is more critical than findingchildren who are missing and getting them to safety," Owen Cypher, the U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Michigan, said in a statement.
