Okay, 400 are runaways whom you can help only so much. Another 100 have been snatched by a parent are most likely not in danger. What about the remaining 500?

And if this is happening in Florida, who is to say that it isn't happening in other states?

This is not the complete story posted on the CNN website.

In a conference call with reporters, Pintacuda said 972 children were unaccounted for. He said:
401 were classified as runaways.
135 were listed as absconded (taken by a non-custodial parent or relative).
421 were listed as "out of state" (reported to be in placements out of state but caseworkers in those states did not visit them).
10 were missing because the family had moved or was on vacation.
Caseworkers could not visit four other children because of court orders preventing them from doing so.
