A countless number of children go missing every year. The category of missing children include a number of problems including abduction or kidnapping of children by family members and by non-family members, run away children or those forced to run away by family and surrounding circumstances, children who are in a difficult or aggressive environment, trafficked children and lost children. Kidnapping is one of the biggest trade of the world today after drug peddling and sale of arms. The children are being taken by the agents for forced labor, prostitution, sale of organs and illegal adoption. In my opinion, there are three factors behind the disturbing trend of increasing criminal tendencies among youngsters in our society. Due to deterioration of family structure, parents are unable to control their children. Another reason is that value orientation is not happening and children do not know what role they have to play while mingling in society. The government has failed to control trafficking and kidnapping of children. Many missing children are abducted and sold for these body parts. This is a multi-million dollar a year business. Be careful when your child is talking to a friendly little girl in a chat room. The Internet is worldwide and sometimes deceptive. The chat room your child uses could be somewhere in Mexico or New York, India, The Middle east or Korea . The statistics are striking, but the reasons for this rise in offending and the shift towards violent crime are unclear. For those at the coalface of the youth justice system, there is no simple solution. For the rise in juvenile delinquency, I would blame the media and its overexposure among children. Today’s youth watch crime serials on TV with a lot of interest. Those who have criminal instincts together with intelligence and need fast money can easily get inspired by such serials and movies with heavy dose of violence. The computer games that the youth play
