🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥⬜
Gaston County has seen multiple child predator arrests in 2025–2026 alone — including a 12-count ICAC bust in February 2026 and Operation Winter Guardian, which brought 44 agencies to Gaston County after documented suspects traveled there specifically to exploit children. ICAC cases in this county rose from 20 in 2019 to over 140 in 2023. A 16-year-old girl disappearing between a hospital and a group home, in this county, with no confirmed destination — that gap is the danger.
