This post marks the beginning of a series where I will highlight the long-term missing children from each province and territory, starting with Newfoundland and Labrador. In this post, I’ll share the key details about the 7 children missing from this province to raise awareness and keep their stories alive. Because there are so many cases to cover, it will take time to research and write more in-depth profiles for each child. Those longer posts will come in the future

Across Canada, over 250 children under the age of 18 have been missing for more than a year. They are who become called the long-term missing — children whose disappearances have stretched beyond the first search efforts, beyond the news cycle, and far beyond what any family should ever have to endure. Learn how you can help bring them home!
