“One child is abducted every minute in America,” said the director of the US Marshals, Donald Washington, Thursday.

The @GBI_GA #CEACC Unit was proud to participate in this important operation, planned by the @USMarshalsHQ. Rescuing these missing and endangered children is probably one of the most impactful law enforcement missions we have participated in… https://t.co/nIWRcmzzbv

From their statement:


U.S. Marshals Find 39 Missing Children in Georgia During ‘Operation Not Forgotten’
Investigators charge individuals for sex offender violations, other related charges

Washington, DC – The U.S. Marshals Service Missing Child Unit, in conjunction with the agency’s Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and Georgia state and local agencies, led a two-week operation in August in Atlanta and Macon, Georgia, to rescue endangered missing children.” Operation Not Forgotten” resulted in the rescue of 26 children, the safe location of 13 children and the arrest of nine criminal associates.

Additionally, investigators cleared 26 arrest warrants and filed additional charges for alleged crimes related to sex trafficking, parental kidnapping, registered sex offender violations, drugs and weapons possession, and custodial interference.

The 26 warrants cleared included 19 arrest warrants for a total of nine individuals arrested, some of whom had multiple warrants.“The U.S. Marshals Service is fully committed to assisting federal, state, and local agencies with locating and recovering endangered missing children, in addition to their primary fugitive apprehension mission,” said Director of the Marshals Service Donald Washington.

“The message to missing children and their families is that we will never stop looking for you. ”These missing children were considered to be some of the most at-risk and challenging recovery cases in the area, based on indications of high-risk factors such as victimization of child sex trafficking, child exploitation, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and medical or mental health conditions.

Other children were located at the request of law enforcement to ensure their wellbeing. USMS investigators were able to confirm each child’s location in person and assure their safety and welfare.

The Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 enhanced the U.S. Marshals’ authority to assist federal, state, and local law enforcement with the recovery of missing, endangered or abducted children, regardless of whether a fugitive or sex offender was involved.

The Marshals established a Missing Child Unit to oversee and manage the implementation of its enhanced authority under the act.In 2019, the USMS helped recover 295 missing children based on requests for assistance from law enforcement and has contributed to the recovery of a missing child in 75 percent of cases received.

Additionally, of the missing children recovered, 66 percent were recovered within seven days of the USMS assisting with the case.

Since its partnership with NCMEC began in 2005, the agency has recovered more than 1,800 missing children.“When we track down fugitives, it’s a good feeling to know that we’re putting the bad guy behind bars.

But that sense of accomplishment is nothing compared to finding a missing child,” said Darby Kirby, Chief of the Missing Child Unit. “It’s hard to put into words what we feel when we rescue a missing child, but I can tell you that this operation has impacted every single one of us out here. We are working to protect them and get them the help they need.

US Attorney Peter McCoy said, “With support from USMarshals HQ, & Anderson Sheriff this office will find those who engage in human trafficking & bring them to justice. We will continue to work with support groups to ensure all victims receive the services they need.”
