The effort, known as Operation Meridian, focused on finding missing youth between the ages of 6 and 17. Authorities designated the children as endangered due to various circumstances, including suspected human trafficking, abuse, neglect, or status as runaways.

The multi-agency effort relied on close coordination between federal, state, and local law enforcement officers throughout Ohio. The team also collaborated with Children and Family Services to ensure that the recovered children were immediately connected with appropriate social, medical, and psychological services.

Abduction survivor Amanda Berry, who escaped in 2013 after being held captive in Cleveland for a decade, partnered with law enforcement during the operation. Prior to the effort, Berry spoke directly to the participating officers.

U.S. Marshal Pete Elliot highlighted her message as a driving force behind the operation’s success, stating that Berry instructed the team to treat every missing child as if they were their own.

Hawlgal ay Hoggaaminayeen U.S. Marshals oo Ohio lagu Helay 79 Carruur ah

Hawlgal wadajir ah oo dhanka sharciga ah oo ay hoggaaminayeen hay’adda U.S. Marshals ayaa bishii Agoosto lagu helay 79 carruur ah oo la raadinayay oo ku baahsanaa gobolka Ohio.

Carruurtan la helay oo jira u dhexaysa 6 illaa 17 sano ayaa loo tixgelinayay inay ku jiraan halis sababo la xiriira ka ganacsiga dadka, xadgudub, dayacaad ama inay yihiin kuwo guryahooda ka cararay.

Hawlgalkan oo loogu magac daray “Operation Meridian” ayaa ku dhisnaa iskaashi iyo isku-duwid ka dhaxaysay hay’adaha sharciga ee heer federal, heer gobol iyo heer hoose. Hawlgalku wuxuu sidoo kale si dhow ula shaqeeyay hay’adda Children and Family Services si loo xaqiijiyo in carruurta la helay lala xiro adeegyada caafimaadka, taageerada nafsaani-ahaaneed iyo kuwa bulshada.

Amanda Berry, oo ah qof ka badbaaday afduub ka dib markii lagu hayay magaalada Cleveland muddo toban sano ah ka hor intii aynan soo baxsan sannadkii 2013, ayaa iyadana kala shaqaysay hay’adaha sharciga hawlgalkan. Berry ayaa la hadashay saraakiisha ka hor inta uusan hawlgalku bilaaban.

U.S. Marshal Pete Elliot ayaa xusay in fariinteedu ay ahayd sababta ka dambeysay guusha hawlgalka, isaga oo yiri: “Iyaddu waxay kooxdayada la hadashay ka hor hawlgalka waxayna u sheegtay in carruur kasta oo la raadinayo loo lahaado daryeel sidii ay yihiin carruurtooda oo kale. Taasi waa sababta uu hawlgalkani u noqday mid guulaystay.”
