Shreveport Teen Among Nine Children Recently Missing in Louisiana
A recent post on the Shreveport Police Department's Facebook page is a reminder that kids in Louisiana continue to disappear at an alarming rate.
In their post, SPD is asking for the public to continue to be on the lookout for 13-year-old Julian Amos who has not been seen since September 14, 2026 when he was spotted in the 3300 block of Greenwood Road.
Julian is described as being 5'4" tall, weighs approximately 120 pounds, has black hair and brown eyes and anyone who might know his current whereabouts is asked to contact SPD immediately.
Though Julian's disappearance has yet to be listed by missingkids.org, the website shows that so far this year 1,016 children have disappeared in the United States.
Of those 1,016 kids, besides Julian Amos, another eight kids have been reported missing here in Louisiana alone. These are the kids we should all be watching for.

Considering the crippling problem of human trafficking that has put a grip on our country over the last few years, one would fear the absolute worst for the lion-share of these beautiful children.
One could argue that some of these kids disappeared because of horrific conditions at home and left of their own free will, but many others might not even know where they are or where their next meal might come from.
Some are children who have been traded or sold like livestock and being forced into doing ungodly things just to stay alive.
Please take a close look at these eight innocent faces and if you happen to recognize one, immediately call 911 and report it.
You never know how great the impact of your call might make to a child being held against their will.
