A code pink is a widely accepted emergency code to alert staff that an infant or child has been abducted or is missing. Starting from 1965–2018 there has been a total of 325 infant abductions. 140 were taken from healthcare facilities, 138 were taken from home and then 47 were abducted in other locations. Out of 325 — there are still 16 infants who remain still missing. When a female is involved — she plays the role to lie and manipulate people, she either says she’s having a baby ( is pregnant ) or claims she cannot find her child — a female would also impersonate a nurse, a doctor, a teacher — somebody that kids can easily go to, somebody they can feel safe with and feel very welcomed with.

This database was based off of children who are ages between 12 and 17. Majority of these children are known to be runaways and that the older children were also known to be runaways too. Going off track for a bit — when elderly children are either kidnapped or runaways — their most likely going to be trafficked. Pimps and traffickers manipulate children by using physical, emotional, and psychological abuse to keep them trapped in a life of prostitution. It is common for traffickers to beat, rape, or torture their victims. Some traffickers also use drugs and alcohol to control them. When they see that the children is trying to escape from them — they abuse them more or they end up killing them and they use that victim as a way to scare the other victims if they were to try to do something like the victim did.
