(Tyler, Texas) - Our kids are the most important humans in our lives. Even if you don't have kids yet, you probably have a niece or nephew that you are close to. When something happens to them, you feel sad and want to help in any way you can.

If one of your kids, or a niece or nephew goes missing, that feeling of sadness turns to worry and fear. You don't know if they're okay. You don't know if they're hurting. The longer that time goes by, the fear of having lost them becomes greater. That's what 14 Texas families are facing right now as their teen girls went missing in January.

The teens below have not been found. You can see their picture, the city they went missing from and the date they were reported missing which is recorded in the database of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Here you can see the missing kids from every state in the country.

Of course, for the purpose of this write up, I'll be concentrating on the State of Texas. All of these teens will be under the age of 18. If the teen is considered to be in immediate danger, that information will be included along with who they believe the dangerous individual is that is with the teen.

As of this writing (February 5, 2025), between January 1 and January 31, 2025, 14 teen girls between 14 and 17 years old were reported missing in Texas. These teens are of all ethnicities, from various Texas cities and different socioeconomic backgrounds.

Reason for the Child's Disappearance

Law enforcement has not given any details into why these kids are missing but that doesn't matter. The only thing these families want is to have their teen back home. It doesn't matter if the child ran away, was kidnapped, not returned after visiting with the other parent or whatever other reason, these kids need to be found.

The smallest detail could be the information needed to locate a missing child. Never be afraid to speak up.

You should never assume the circumstance around any child's disappearance. Just know that you can help find any of these 14 teen girls who went missing in Texas in January by contacting the listed law enforcement agency or calling 800-843-5678 (800-THE-LOST).
