Good evening! The Kettering Sentinel just posted a story about two missing children that The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is looking for. One is a 16-year-old who went missing from Youngstown on December 17th and is believed to possibly be in our area. The other is a Kettering child that went missing in 1999 when she was only 9 years old. Please take a look at the article and if you have any information on either of these missing children, please reach out to the authorities. https://ketteringsentinel.town.news/g/kettering-oh/n/58771/center-missing-exploited-children-looking-missing-area-children
