The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has reportedly removed various publications referencing LGBTQ+ issues, presumably in response to government pressure that threatened funding. This directive aligns with broader actions taken during the Trump administration aimed at diminishing recognition of transgender individuals. Notably affected were reports concerning missing children with LGBTQ+ identities and guidelines on preventing child trafficking. The removals have raised concerns over the implications for the protection and visibility of vulnerable queer youth.
NCMEC, pressured by government funding threats, removed LGBTQ+ references from its website, erasing critical information on the safety and recognition of queer and transgender youth.
Documents detailing experiences of LGBTQ+ and transgender children have been removed from NCMEC's site, obscuring vital statistics related to their safety and well-being.
