TAMPA, Fla. — Florida law enforcement recovered 163 missing children during a five-day statewide operation, Attorney General James Uthmeier and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement announced Tuesday.

The children, ranging in age from two months to 17 years old, were located during Operation Statewide Shield, a first-of-its-kind state agency-led initiative focused on finding missing, endangered and exploited children.

      This sort of thinking makes doing nothing the only winning move. Can we just be happy for a minute?

        Doing nothing for the last 6 months or so is the only way they can pull this off. Do you really believe that they had no clue all that these kids were in jeopardy before this 5-day period? They just happened to figure it all out just now? I don’t believe it. I think that they had plenty of tips and clues but they left them sitting in their to-do boxes until someone up the chain decided that they needed a PR win. Then they put in the effort to go and rescue these kids as quickly as they could just so they could pat themselves on the back and get some good headlines before the midterms.
