These numbers defined the cases of children who are missing. This means that if a child has been missing or has run away several times, it will be counted in a year as a different case when entered in NCIC and would increase the number of cases accordingly. Meanwhile, if a case is closed, updated or withdrawn then the total number of cases would vary accordingly.
