The first national statistics on missing children were released in 1987, when more than 57,000 cases were reported. In 2019, there were 40,425 accounts of missing children.
Runaways in 2019 represented a majority of all missing children reports at almost 30,000.
A total of 122 of those missing children reports were for a parental abduction, while 16 were related to a stranger abduction.
About 58 per cent of all missing children or young people involve females. Also, 62 per cent of missing children or youth cases were closed within 24 hours, while 92 per cent were closed within a week.
Between 2013 and February 2020, Canada issued 56 Amber Alerts involving 74 abducted children. Of those, 67 were recovered and returned safely.
Of all missing persons reported in a given year, about 500 remain missing after one year. Missing children make up about nine per cent of that 500.
