It's hard to think that we're only seven days into the month of May, and we already have four kids reported missing. Two thirteen-year-olds, one fifteen-year-old, and a seventeen-year-old were reported missing to local authorities.

Some of the areas where these children were recently reported missing are Bismarck, Grand Forks, Fargo, and Minot.
