Project Milk Carton exists as an oversight and transparency organization. Our analytics are system-level. We predict where systems fail, before those failures become headlines.
We map patterns.
We track funding flows.
We analyze reporting gaps, compliance failures, and structural blind spots across agencies.
Because the truth is—most breakdowns in child safety are not sudden.
They are predictable.
They are measurable.
And they repeat.
Our work sits upstream of crisis.
We identify where children are most likely to fall through the cracks—
not based on emotion, but on data, law, and historical outcomes.
No hype. No alarmism. No emotional manipulation.
Just clarity, accountability, and systems that can be understood—and improved.
Because protecting children shouldn’t depend on luck, timing, or viral attention.
It should be built into the system itself.
Accountability starts here.

@jakelogan God loves your words, straight from your heart. He doesn’t need a refined prayer. He knows your thoughts and intents. He’s not hindered by our command of (or lack thereof) of the English language 🙏💕🕊️
Father,
As evil gathers in Chicago this week, we pray for protection from the demonic forces infecting the left and their followers.
We thank You, Father, for Your mercy, for the blood of Your Son Jesus Christ that covers us, and for the power of Your Holy Spirit within us.
You are our refuge and fortress, our shield against darkness.
Lord,
We stand against Obama and the demonic forces that deceive and influence hearts and minds of liberals who worship that man above God.
We rebuke Obama and every evil spirit of deception, division, lies, and moral deviance in the name of Jesus Christ.
Protect us, Father, from these influences.
Guard our children, our families, our communities, and our beloved America.
Deliver those who have succumb to these evil ideologies.
Open their eyes to the light of Christ, that they may turn from darkness back to You.
Strengthen Your faithful servants... our MAGA brothers and sisters and all who stand together, united in the Christian principles this nation was founded upon.
Bless this Christian nation.
In Jesus' name
Other men know what’s going on and intentionally don’t look. Do you think young girls have that discernment? They will see things.
He keep them in a space that is completely comfortable and familiar to them. He protected them. Other women are smart enough to stand outside and wait for a minute. The outrage is stupid. No woman went in there while he was there. No woman was harmed.
Project Milk Carton
We’ve Never Charged You a Dime.
Today We’re Asking for One.
Since the day we started, everything we publish anywhere has been free. No paywall. No locked articles. No upgrade prompts. That was a deliberate choice — because the truth about what’s happening to America’s children should never sit behind a credit card.
We’re going to keep it that way. Forever.But keeping the lights on isn’t free. So today, for the first time, we’re asking.
Who We Are
Project Milk Carton is a veteran-founded 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 33-1323547) with one mission: transparency in child welfare — and getting missing kids back home.We’re not a think tank. We’re not consultants.
We build the tools and we do the work:
A research engine tracking 340 million+ public records and $148 billion+ in government grants — following the money through the child-welfare system that nobody else is willing to map.
Missing children awareness — modern “milk cartons” for the digital age, putting kids’ faces back in front of people who can help.
Free, open reporting and tools at https://t.co/tlfoTdr1az — research we hand to families, advocates, and investigators at no cost.
Original investigations and journalism — the work you read right here, every week.
All of it free.
All of it public.
That’s the whole point.
The Math That Could Change Everything
There are 21,000 of you reading this on substack. If each of you gave just a dollar or two a month, you would fund this entire mission — twice over.
Even if only half of you did, you’d cover our whole operating budget for the year.
That’s it.
That’s the secret.
A handful of change from a lot of good people keeps this whole thing alive.
Two Ways to Give — Please Read This Part
We’re going to be completely straight with you, because transparency is literally our mission. Where you give changes how much actually reaches the work.
💚 Best for monthly support → right here on Substack
Substack takes the smallest cut of anyone, so the most of your gift goes straight to the kids and the mission. This is the way that helps us most:
→ Tap “Subscribe” at the top of the page and choose a paid plan.
A few dollars a month — or whatever you can give — on a recurring basis is what lets us actually plan ahead and keep the servers, the research, and the milk-carton campaigns running 24/7.
Prefer to give just once? You can do that here too.

💳 Best for larger / one-time gifts → PayPal
Want to make a bigger one-time donation? PayPal is quick and easy:

Servers & infrastructure — hosting the research database and keeping the tools online around the clock
Research & development — building the technology that makes child-welfare money traceable in the first place
The website & free public reporting at https://t.co/tlfoTdr1az
Missing children campaigns — getting faces and names in front of the publicOur all-in operating budget is roughly $120,000 a year — and we account for it openly. No executive salaries chasing headlines. No bloat. Veterans and volunteers, doing the work.

The Bottom LineWe’ve given this away from day one because we believe families deserve the truth for free — and we always will. We’re simply asking the people who’ve been reading all along to help us keep going.A few dollars a month on Substack. A larger gift through PayPal. Whatever you can. All of it tax-deductible. All of it straight into the work.

Is this something that needs to be put on social media?
People that age feel alone, forgotten, and without purpose any longer. Did your mom ever wait until she was through her tasks for the day to wish you happy birthday?
You don’t have to collapse into shame to the level of feeling like worst child. But also, you can acknowledge that she felt overlooked.
Humility is joy
Humility is peaceful!
Humility is a life hack.
It’s freedom
It’s the path to contentment.
And it’s the path to healing.

You guys know what the best part of getting knocked down is, right?
It's getting back up when no others will.
It makes oneself harder to knock down next time. Everything happens for a reason.
And there's always positive outcome. The good thing is, as you guys are going to see soon, who does the real work.
More to follow on that.
Just know we're doing so much in the back channels for children.
And we're excited to show you all.
You see, we can multitask. We're always charging forward with our mission. And we're always protecting our organization and our people. And in turn, that protects our mission, which in turn helps educate about child safety.
We aren't a slogan.
When someone shows us repeatedly they are willing to cross ethical lines, to compromise integrity, to do so to the point of not knowing when to quit, it will always eventually catch up with them.
You cannot mix truth and integrity with lies, deception and manipulation, no matter how noble looking the veneer is the perpetrators use.
This is exactly the level of precise accuracy Project Milk Carton will deploy across all focuses.
I love truth. It always wins in the end.
Just showing y’all some small fries before we go fix the really big issues facing our kids across this country.
Let’s go boys!
