Over the next several weeks, we’ll be reviewing, reorganizing, and refreshing portions of the Project Milk Carton archive. As we work through older material, some posts may be temporarily unavailable while we verify sources, update information, and make sure the work reflects the standards we expect of ourselves today.
Some posts are going away for good that don’t align with our mission to help children. Those that are on point with this beautiful vision will return as they’re reviewed and refreshed.
This kind of work takes time, and we’d rather take that time than rush through it. Andy research we put out should be careful, well-sourced, current, and clear about what the evidence does — and does not — establish.
New research and analysis will continue to be published here as well.
In the meantime, plenty is happening elsewhere across Project Milk Carton. If you’re looking for something to read while we tidy up the archive, visit The Founder’s Pen, great writings from our President, Cliff’s Corner, the man, the myth, the legend, who understands and educates around cyber security like no one else, or hear from our new CEO at From the CEO’s Desk section. Our PMC Research & Analysis section, home of incredible articles over the course of Project Milk Carton’s history, is getting even better than ever.
Thanks for your patience while we make Project Milk Carton stronger, clearer, and easier to navigate.
We’ll see you back here soon.

Updates and reports of children recovered and the progress they are making in recovering their lives would be wonderful to see from your organization. We get tired of the vacant hole at the end of our dollars.
