So imagine how well the German government is doing at keeping track of terrorist cells.

A new report shows that nearly 6,000 children were reported as missing last year.
An answer from the Interior Ministry to the German Parliament (Bundestag) revealed that last year 5,835 refugee children were reported as missing, newspapers from the Funke Mediengruppe reported on Monday.
Earlier this year, a report by the Frankfurter Rundschau confirmed by The Local showed nearly 5,000 children were registered as missing as of January 1st.
The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) told The Local at the time that sometimes missing children will turn up again and that the numbers could be distorted if one child is reported as missing in multiple places, or with slightly different personal information.
A ten-year-old boy from Afghanistan, for example, had been thought by his family to be dead for a whole year until a Red Cross worker helped reunite the family now living in Lower Saxony with him last month.
But of the 8,006 children initially reported missing last year, just 2,171 have since been found again, according to the latest report.
"The missing, unaccompanied, underage refugee children came mainly from Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea, Morocco and Algeria," stated the answer from the Interior Ministry. But the ministry did not state a reason for why they were missing.
Of those missing, 555 were younger than 14.
"It is sad that 5,835 unaccompanied teens and children were reported missing last year and the government has not been on alert," Green Party politician Luise Amtsberg told the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (WAZ).
