(3) 'Missing person report' is a report prepared on a prescribed form for transmitting information about a missing person or a missing child to a law enforcement agency.
(4) 'Exploited children' are children under the age of seventeen who are placed in positions where they were taken advantage of sexually because of their inability to cognitively assess or resist the contact or who were placed into these positions because of their dependency upon the offender."
