What To Do When Your Child
Is Missing

IMMEDIATELY:
Call your local law enforcement office. This is extremely
important. If your child has been abducted, lost, or is a
runaway, a few hours may make all the difference. You are
NOT wasting anyone's time. Every police officer would rather
bring a child home safely within a few hours than to experience
the frustration of an exhaustive and non-productive search,
or worse.... be too late to save the child!
CONTACT A SEARCH CENTER
These Centers offer FREE help. Their staff members are highly
trained and work closely with local and Federal law enforcement.
They have the training to handle hotlines, take leads and
disseminate those leads to the police. They are able to assist
in local, regional, national and international searches.
Most phones are answered 24 hours a day. They will produce
flyers at no cost, contact truck stops and other places where
your child might be seen, and help you in setting up a local
search center for your child. They will contact local TV,
radio stations, newspapers, and utilize the internet to get
the word out as quickly as possible. Their help and support
is vitally important to you.
ABOVE ALL, DO NOT hesitate. This is what they are there for.
Call them!
