If you are blessed enough to become a parent, it's the first thing you pray you never have to experience. Sadly, there are 10 Illinois families who have children that have vanished into thin air in the past 30 days and the hope is that someone has information to find them before it's too late.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has the most recent kids in Illinois that have been reported missing. Since these 10 have only been unaccounted for over the course of a few weeks, authorities are hopeful someone will come forward with information that will bring them home safely.
