You didn't word the problem in a manner to avoid some of the confusion. It "should" have read:

On a whole, if 1:100 children go missing but in our "Don't Let Juicy D Buy Candy or Puppies For Luring" program there are over 1,000,000 children and only two have ever been missing would it also be right that.

A child not in the program is 5000 times more likely to go missing
AND That a child is 99% less likely to go missing?

For extra credit:

Is Juicy 3X, 7X or 12X more likely to rob a candy store or steal a puppy rather than sue the state for cruel and inhumane punishment - show your work.
