May 25th is National Missing Children’s day in both the U.S and Canada. While for many this day will pass un-noticed, for others it will mark the most critical event of their lives. It is a day – and an issue – of which we should all be aware.
If you are concerned about a child that might be abused, or if you have a child and are concerned for their safety from abduction, this is the web site for you. Everything anyone – parent, cop, attorney, or reporter – would want to know about this subject is to be found here.
If you are a parent you are likely to want to read Personal Safety for Children: A Guide for Parents at http://www.missingkids.com/en_US/publications/NC122.pdf, or to download a copy of Know the Rules…Abduction and Kidnapping Prevention Tips for Parents at http://www.missingkids.com/en_US/publications/NC94.pdf.
If you are interested in the state of the art in analyzing the problem you will probably want to read the NISMART-2 National Estimates of Missing Children of October 2002, which can be found on the FAQ page (http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/PageServlet?LanguageCo untry=en_US&PageId=242#0).
