4 How many persons are considered missing in Germany?
In order to gain an idea about the number of people gone missing in Germany, here are some figures:
In July 2007, more than 14,300 cases were stored in the “unidentified bodies/missing persons”
database. Among them were 6,400 people reported missing in Germany. This figure includes cases which are cleared up within a few days, but it also covers persons who have been missing for up to 30 years. Every day, about 150 to 250 searches are newly registered or cancelled.
Experience has shown that about 50% of all missing persons cases are solved within the first week. After one month, more than 80% of all cases have been solved. The percentage of people missing for more than one year is only about 3%.
Almost two-thirds of all missing persons are male. About half of those gone missing are children and juveniles. Their disappearance can be due to very diverse reasons (problems at school or with parents, lovesickness etc.).
If a missing person case is not cleared up, the search notice will be upheld for up to 30 years.
5 Missing children
All minors are considered missing if they have left their accustomed environment and their whereabouts are unknown (to the person having custody). For as long as the investigations have not resulted in findings to the contrary, it will be assumed, as a matter of precaution, that the life or the physical integrity of the person concerned is at risk.
The topic of missing children is of great concern to the German public. Intense mediacoverage of individual cases suggests that all children are at great risk. This sometimes creates the impression that
-the number of children who are not found or the number of unsolved cases is dramatically high;
-a substantial number of missing children who are not found are victims of so-called child pornography rings and the police do not do enough to stop this.
In 2010, a total of 13,926 children (of up to 14 years) were considered missing in Germany; by 1 March 2012, 13,833 of these cases were cleared up. This corresponds to a clear-up rate of about 99 %. The 93 cases still unsolved include 30 cases of child abduction and 8 cases of so-called unaccompanied refugee children.
In 2011, 4,729 children (under 14 years, i.e. up to 13 years) were recorded missing. By 1 March 2012, 4,581 cases were cleared up.
On 1 March 2012, a total of 501 children (up to 14 years, i.e. 13 years at most) were listed as missing, starting from 3 March 1951, the earliest date in the missing persons records. The majority of these 501 children are refugee children or children who were abducted from their parents or guardian.
Cases of child abduction are typically caused by parental arguments about custody, especially when the parents come from very different cultural backgrounds. The child abduction cases reported to the police are recorded as “missing person cases” for as long as the police cannot exclude that the child concerned is in danger. In most of these cases,
however, the child is not in danger.
With regard to the remaining missing children, it must be feared that they have be come victims of a crime or an accident, are in a situation of helplessness or are no longer alive.
This includes the children who are likely to have drowned, but whose bodies have never been found.
All in all one can say that a great number of children go missing every day, but that, fortunately, the number of children whose fate will remain unknown for a long time is very small.

Wasn't the Black Forest where Hansel & Gretel met the wicked witch that lures lil kids to her gingerbread house to eat them?
They always have to tell us what they're doing. This has been true for thousands of years, long before this country even existed. Yet another example of how the distant past comes around full circle as we work toward a better future.
They left breadcrumbs to find their way back, but crows ate them and erased their trail.
We are Hansel and Gretel in that sense. Our breadcrumbs were eaten and the path was hidden. So new breadcrumbs are being dropped to show us the way.
