Authorities Locate 34 Missing Children in Three-Day Long Island and Queens Operation
A coordinated three-day operation across Queens and Long Island located 34 missing children aged 7 to 18, many of whom were runaways or vulnerable to exploitation. Over 100 personnel from nearly 40 agencies, including law enforcement and social workers, collaborated from a central command center in Garden City. The children were connected to support services such as housing, medical care, and counseling. The operation, announced by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, addressed cases ranging from recent disappearances to those lasting up to 10 years, with additional cases still open.
