      Why We Don't See Missing Kids On Milk Cartons Anymore?

      Why We Don’t See Missing Kids On Milk Cartons Anymore?

      In 1984, Etan Patz became one of the first children to have his face displayed on a milk carton. The 6-year-old tragically disappeared on the morning of May 25, 1979, while he was on his way to the school bus in Manhattan. His father began widely distributing images of the boy, hoping to locate someone who had seen the child. Patz’s widely publicized disappearance made media headlines and grabbed the nation’s attention.

      Those same concerned parents soon began pushing for a nationwide system to track missing kids, eventually forming the Missing Children Milk Carton Program in 1984. Prior to the milk carton campaign, there was no national database of missing children, and once they were taken across state lines, it was almost impossible to track them.

      While the program began with just a few local dairies in the Midwest printing pictures of missing children on their milk cartons, it was soon adopted nationwide. But missing children didn’t just appear on milk cartons in the 1980s.

      Other tragic, high-profile cases, like the abduction of 13-year-old Johnny Gosch from his paper route in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1982, and the kidnapping of 6-year-old Adam Walsh from a Sears department store the year before, helped raise the stature of the program. Following these cases, the advocacy of groups like the National Child Safety Council, combined with the subsequent media attention, led to increased efforts to combat “child snatching.”

      Despite the success, there were several reasons for the program’s rapid decline in popularity. Many pediatricians, including the respected child-rearing expert Dr. Benjamin Spock, claimed the images of missing children were emotionally harmful for kids to see every morning, as they increased young people’s fear that they would also go missing. Others criticized the campaign’s focus on “stranger danger,” despite strangers making up a very small percentage of kidnappers. Still others pointed out that the milk cartons disproportionately featured white children, even though children of color make up a larger percentage of the missing child demographic.

      More practical reasons, such as the dairy industry’s transition from cardboard milk cartons to plastic, also contributed to the campaign’s demise. With the images of missing children everywhere, people got used to seeing them and no longer looked closely at the faces. And as technology improved over time, quicker and more effective methods were implemented to alert the public about missing children.

      In 1996, the invention of the Amber Alert system made the milk carton ads obsolete. While the actual effectiveness of the milk carton campaign continues to be debated, there’s no doubt that the program significantly raised public awareness of the problem of child abductions and helped give rise to the modern nationwide system of tracking missing children.
