If we need a center for missing and exploited children, we have not spent enough time, effort, and energy understanding the real problems. It seems to me that one missing and exploited child is too many. The fact that children are being harmed at all in this world is an indicator of a feedback loop in our society that is out of control. We should look at our children as the keystone species of our future and place such a high relative importance on each child so that no child is at risk. Resources should be allocated and prioritized on the holistic end of the spectrum rather than the reactionary. Interdisciplinary problem identification, assessment, research, and ecogeosystematic understanding of problems through various analysis techniques would be the most rational allocation of resources. A paleoenvironmental cumulative integrated analysis and ecogeosystematic knowledge of the total cumulative functioning is worth striving for when we risk losing our future.
