N.J. Missing Children: Search For 18 Endangered Kids Continues

There's no Amber Alert for it. But in New Jersey, there are at least 18 children who have been missing for months, or even years.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children works to let people know that there is still a chance to recover these children who, most likely, are endangered.

Many children - like one who was missing from Montgomery Township on Wednesday - often turn up on the day of their disappearance. Many don't.

The national center's mission is to help find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation and prevent child victimization.

Since 1984, NCMEC has served as the national clearinghouse and resource center for families, victims, private organizations, law enforcement and the public on issues relating to missing and sexually exploited children.

Here are 18 missing children from New Jersey who disappeared within the past five years:
