But some 25 percent last a month or more, and 7 percent--still hundreds or even thousands of children--last more than six months....Despite those numbers and the life-altering impact parental abductions have on the children taken and the parents left behind, advocates with missing children's groups lament that these types of cases typically are paid too little attention. Most of the attention is focused on abductions of children by strangers, of which experts estimate there are 100 to 300 in the United States each year." (ST.
