Over a two-week period this month, the US Marshals Service conducted "Operation Not Forgotten," searching for missing kids in the Atlanta metro area.
Nearly 40 kids are now known to be in safe hands due to that mission.
They’ve arrested nine individuals in the process.
The children's ages were said to be between 3 and 17.
The kids involved "were considered to be some of the most at-risk and challenging recovery cases in the area.” At risk for being victimized by sex trafficking, sexual or physical abuse, child exploitation, medical conditions, and mental health issues.
