It doesn't seem like there would be anything more horrifying then having your child go missing. They could be lost, hurt, hungry, or worst of all, abducted. Every 40 seconds in the United States, a child is reported missing or abducted, which is approximately 2,000 children per day or 800,000 per year.
Not only would it be frightening for the parents, but even more so for the child. They were taken from their family and potentially beaten, sexually abused, or even killed. Think about how terrifying it would be to be completely helpless in the hands of a stranger or possibly even a family member or family friend.
For Debbie and Jeremy, they haven't seen their daughter, Lisa Irwin, since October 4th, 2011, but they aren't giving up. It's been over a year since "[Debbie] opened the door to her daughter's room and found her baby gone," and they still "look at every baby" they pass.
I think it's awesome they haven't given up, but I also think that after a while, it's easier to just believe he/she is safe with God. Then you can slowly start to heal instead of stressing about where they could be the rest of their life. But they truly believe that "she's alive and someone knows something." So I respect them for their dedication to their daughter as they "pass out flyers, bracelets, and other reminders of Lisa" as a sign of their persistence to finding her. They even buy a different size outfit every few months in belief that "[they'll] bring her home" someday.
