There are many organizations that help missing children. Groups can be found at the local, national, and international level. These groups not only help with children that are already missing, but work to prevent other children from going missing.
They have programs designed to keep children safe when using the internet. They offer tips to parents to help with this. There are other programs that help to reduce the amount of child pornography being distributed over the internet. Programs are used to train law enforcement in the prevention of child abduction.
Child ID kits have been established by these organizations for parents to have on hand in case of an incident. They show all the pertinent information needed in helping to find that child should they go missing. This information includes a current picture, name, address, height, weight, and contact information.
These organizations have put into effect a system of getting the word out once a child has gone missing to notify local, state, and national law enforcement agencies. They have resources available to make thousands of phone calls within minutes. The Amber Alert was initiated to broadcast nationally via television and radio as soon as a child goes missing. They broadcast pictures of missing children to millions of households in the hope of finding someone who has seen them.
These organizations have many resources available and are trained in how to use these resources efficiently. The bottom line is to find the missing child as soon as possible. Using every resource available is what these organizations are there for.
