On Monday, the U.S. Marshals Service Middle District of Florida stated that its two-week initiative, Operation Dragon Eye, had three key objectives: saving missing children, providing them with services, and deterring bad actors.
‘Many of these kids have painful, disastrous situations, but at least today we’ve rescued them, and we now can work towards recovery.’
The USMS announced that along with 20 federal, state, and local government agencies, the Tampa Bay area mission recovered 60 “critically missing” children, or “those at risk of crimes of violence or those with other elevated risk factors such as substance abuse, sexual exploitation, crime exposure, or domestic violence.”
