Have
you ever been in a crowded shopping mall, turned to take your child's
hand, and he or she was no longer in sight? And then, a minute or
two later, you spot your child. You put your arms out as your child
comes running back. Now, everything is just fine.
For
some parents, remembering that terrible moment lasts a few days. For
some, it lasts forever because the child is still missing. Each day
2,300 missing children are reported to local police and entered into
the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Crime Information Center
computer system.
The National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children (NCMEC) is dedicated to help recover these missing
children and prevent other children from becoming victims of abduction
and sexual exploitation. You can be assured that 90 percent of every
dollar goes directly to help find as many of these missing children
as possible, as well as support our education and prevention programs.
"But how can I help?" you may ask. Well, check out the active
banner at the top of this page for ways you can help.
