“Today the Subcommittee on Select Education is holding a hearing on missing and exploited and runaway youth under which revisions to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children will be considered. This topic is particularly relevant to the people of Savannah, as there is a young girl from that area in my district who has been missing for more than 2 weeks. Ashleigh Moore is only 12 years old. She is an African American young lady who is a little over 5 feet tall and weighs 120 pounds. She was last seen wearing a white shirt and brown pants. Her family is very worried about her, and the entire community from Savannah is making every effort to find her. I am hopeful that she will return safely home very soon. I would urge anyone who has any information about Ashleigh to contact the Savannah police at 912-232-4141. Madam Speaker, children are a precious resource. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children acts to reunite missing children with their families, and work with crime prevention officers to reach out to the community with child safety information and services. My thoughts and prayers are with Ashleigh's family today.”
