Sentinel

We personally have been in dangerous situations as students while walking home or taking the bus. We were frustrated with the lack of mapping apps that displayed recent crime statistics that would have allowed us to choose safer routes.

This issue is on a national scale: every year, around 1000 children are involved in attempted abduction attempts every year, 31% occuring while the child was going to or from a school related activity (NCMEC, 2026).

34% of attempted abductions occured between 2-7PM, when students were out of school and least supervised (NCMEC, 2026).

It is estimated that 2,300 children are missing every day in the United States, and since 1999, over 1.5 million children had a runaway or thrownaway episode. (Child Find of America)

An average of 67,124 child pedestrians are injured every year in the U.S. and 704 die — about two child pedestrian deaths every single day. (Children's Safety Network)

In February 2024, 11-year-old Audrii Cunningham disappeared while walking to her school bus stop in Livingston, Texas. She was murdered by a family friend; her body was found days later in a nearby river. (CNN)
