The Missing Children are a group of five children who were lured into the Safe Room of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza by William Afton disguised as Spring Bonnie in order to gain their trust and murder them.

History[]

Five Nights at Freddy's[]

The missing children are referred to throughout the newspapers regarding the appropriately named Missing Children Incident. The reports describe that on multiple days, one of which was June 26, a total of five children were eventually lured into a backroom of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza by a man disguised as one of the franchise's mascots in order to gain their trust.

On the morning of June 27, the perpetrator was identified through video surveillance and promptly apprehended by the police. They charged the suspect, but the bodies of the kids were never found, and they are presumed dead. The bodies were hidden inside the animatronics and eventually began to stink up the establishment, blood and mucus beginning to ooze from the characters' faces. These happenings heavily damage the reputation of Fazbear Entertainment, Inc. and played a major role in the decline of the franchise.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2[]

The five children with brown shoes, blue pants, and blue shirts appear in the Go! Go! Go! death minigame. The player controlling Foxy is directed to run out of Pirate Cove to the five children in the adjacent area and celebrate with confetti, twice. On the third run, William Afton shows up in the corner of Pirate Cove and all of the kids are dead, before the minigame ends with Withered Foxy's jumpscare. The original mobile port had a slightly narrower area, fitting only three children.

The missing children are present again in the minigame, Give Gifts, Give Life. The Puppet presents to them gift boxes for 100 points each. Once finished, the Puppet then "Gives Life" to them, represented by a classic animatronic head for each kid, also for 100 points each. The top left child is Chica, the top right is Freddy, the bottom left is Bonnie, and the bottom right is Foxy. Once finished, a fifth child appears in the center for one frame, before Golden Freddy's jumpscare ends the minigame and gives an undetermined number of points. The events depicted in this minigame canonically occur with the bottom right Foxy child being the last one, as shown in a screenshot from the Completion Ending of FFPS.

Five Nights at Freddy's 3[]

The children appear in the final end-of-night minigame, in which the player controls the ghost of one of the kids. Upon entering the Safe Room, the other four block the exit, while the player character ghost chases William Afton around, until he runs to put on the old Spring Bonnie suit. As the springlocks fail and gore William, the ghosts fade away and the minigame ends.

Throughout the game, the secret minigames' secret endings end with the player giving each one of the missing children a cake. Finally, in the Happiest Day minigame, all of the children are gathered together with the spirit of Charlotte "Charlie" Emily, wearing masks of their represented animatronics, to give the fifth child inhabiting Golden Freddy a cake. They all disappear, leaving their masks behind and balloons representing them float away for the Good Ending, which depicts the empty animatronic heads to show the ghosts of the missing children as having been put to rest. In the default Bad Ending of the game, the character heads still have lights on to indicate their spirits still haven't moved on.

Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator[]

The names of the missing children are revealed in the Lorekeeper Ending's end image, which shows all of their graves lined up on a hillside, with Charlotte's in the distance. Unlike most tombstones, there are no birthdays, "death" dates, nor last names or messages, merely their first names. The names on the tombstones correspond to the animatronic head positions in the endings of FNaF 3, with the exception of the rightmost obscured grave presumably belonging to Golden Freddy.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach[]

A loose recreation of the "MCI graveyard" can be seen in the first Princess Quest arcade game. Lighting up the torches in a correct order, opens up a path forward.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2[]

Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2 makes several references to the Missing Children, with the Faz Force figures and its respective ending representing the six characters possessed by the missing children. Princess Quest IV's ragdolls are required to get the glitched token to unlock the arcade cabinet, which leads to the gravestone segment. Lighting the gravestone torches in a specific order opens a secret path to a chest containing a mask of a familiar character. It is speculated that this order in which you must light the graves corresponds to the order in which they were murdered.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit[]

Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit portrays a warped memory of the Missing Children Incident. Dead bodies of the missing children (killed by The Yellow Rabbit) can be seen lined against the wall of the party room.

The Children[]

The missing children are often treated as a singular group, with very few individual appearances specific to any given child.

Gabriel[]

Gabriel is the third victim of the Missing Children Incident, stuffed into and possessing Freddy Fazbear. He appears in Happiest Day after playing the BB's Air Adventure minigame and collecting the color-changing balloon, finding the cake in Mangle's Quest, and then fully completing BB's Air Adventure.

Fritz[]

Fritz is the second victim of the Missing Children Incident, stuffed into and possessing Foxy. Getting the cake ending in Stage01 unlocks him in Happiest Day.

Susie[]

Not what you were looking for? See Susie (disambiguation).

Susie is the first victim of The Missing Children Incident, stuffed into and possessing Chica. In FNaF 3, she is found in the secret ending of the Chica's Party minigame to be added to Happiest Day. She is only one of two kids to have the animatronic they possess match up to the minigame they are found in. Unlike the rest of the missing children, Susie later reappears in the Fruity Maze minigame, reflected in the screen when enough points are accumulated to increase the time. She has blue eyes with curly blonde hair and wears a white lace purple top. After the game is completed once, the music slows and dead dogs with pools of blood as Susie's reflection begins to frown. The second time the game is completed, coffins and flowers appear in the even more heavily corrupted minigame. Time will end and a cutscene plays out, with Spring Bonnie appearing behind a crying Susie in the reflection. William as Spring Bonnie says, "He's not really dead." in blue text. Susie responds in yellow, "He is over here." He responds simply with, "Follow me." Susie's dog had been hit by a car and killed, which William uses to his advantage in luring Susie to her death. In Into The Pit there is a rare chance for Chica to mention Susie in one of her voicelines. Her name also comes to Ralph's mind (most likely due to some supernaural sources) while singing a happy birthday song (which enrages Chica).

Jeremy[]

Jeremy is the fourth victim of The Missing Children Incident, stuffed into and possessing Bonnie. He is found in the Glitch Minigame and added to Happiest Day, when RWQFSFASXC gives him a cake. He is directly refrenced in the HW2 achievement "Remember Jeremy?" Bronwen Light also mentions Jeremy by name.

Cassidy[]

Cassidy is the fifth victim of The Missing Children Incident, stuffed into and possessing Golden Freddy. When unlocking the Good Ending of FNaF 3, after the rest of the children have been given cake and are added to Happiest Day, Charlotte brings a cake to the table the child is positioned at. She dons a Golden Freddy mask and disappear with the rest of the children, as the balloons float away and the masks are left behind.

Speculation[]

This section archives a lot of theories and speculation, which usually occurs from pre-release media, or just things that are still unknown, so please keep that in mind while reading. The page will continue to be updated with the most accurate information as more solid evidence is supplied.

  • It is usually theorized that the fifth victim is named "Cassidy" due to a series of hints regarding the Survival Logbook, or possibly The One You Should Not Have Killed, see the speculation section of Golden Freddy for a more thoroughly comprehensive detail of the possibilities surrounding the identity of this kid. The giggle of a little girl is heard when Golden Freddy appears in the first game, possibly indicating the victim to have been a girl. However, something to note is that this laugh is a stock sound effect, which is also shared with Freddy, albeit slowed down.
  • Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit's recreation of the missing children incident shows 6 victims instead of the usual 5. It's possible that there's a sixth unknown victim
