In memory of all abused, abducted, and murdered children

In memory of all of the babies, children, and youths taken too soon. Featured in the video are: Children who were victims of child abuse and/or murder at the hands of their parents/guardians, or other family members, step-parents, their parents' boyfriends/girlfriends, etc.

Children who were killed by a stranger or a non-family member. Many were abducted & murdered by total strangers, others were victims of school violence, shootings, home invasions, etc.

Victims of terrorism- includes the children who died in the two worst attacks on American soil, the Oklahoma City bombing and the September 11, 2001 attacks. 19 children all under the age of 6 were killed in the bombing. The majority of them were attending daycare in the building when it was bombed. Eight children perished in the 9/11 attacks. All of them were passengers on the planes that the terrorists hijacked and flew into the buildings. Bernard Brown II, Asia Cottom, Rodney Dickens, and Dana & Zoe Falkenberg were on American Airlines Flight 77, the plane that hit the Pentagon. David Gamboa-Brandhorst, Christine Hanson, and Juliana McCourt were on United Airlines Flight 175, which crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center.
