Last month nearly 40 missing or endangered children were rescued by federal and state agents in Georgia, according to authorities.

The two-week mission was dubbed “Operation Not Forgotten.”

Jennifer Swain heads Georgia’s YouthSpark, a Georgia nonprofit that works to transform the lives of vulnerable youth. She says the number of rescues is relative because the pandemic is compounding the problem.
