Biggest Child Rescue in U.S. History: 60 Missing Kids Found in Florida Operation!

Kids going missing has become a big issue these days. The number of kids going missing in Florida is increasing day by day, with the age of the missing children ranging from 9 to 17 years. Recently, eight suspects involved in kidnapping children were arrested in Florida.

Florida authorities said the missing children were rescued after a successful and major operation in the Tampa Bay area and the eight suspects were arrested on charges including child endangerment, human trafficking, drug possession and drug trafficking.

“At a news conference Monday morning, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and U.S. Marshal William Berger announced that 60 missing children in Central Florida were rescued as part of “Operation Dragon Eye”.”

“The real heroes behind this operation are the law enforcement who built and executed this mission. As your Attorney General and a father of three young kids, protecting children is my top priority,” Uthmeier said. “If you victimize children, you’re going to prison, end of story.”

“Operation Dragon Eye” was led by the U.S. Marshal’s Office, with legal advice provided by the statewide prosecutor’s office, with assistance from 20 agencies.

“60 kids saved. That number sends the message that Florida will never be a safe place for traffickers,” said Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Mark Glass. “At FDLE, we will continue to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. And to any family still missing their child, we will never stop searching until we make sure they are brought home safely.”
