Your Child Is Missing

by Frank Go

If your child is missing, time is of the essence! Take a deep
breath and try to remember the last place you saw your child.
If your child is missing from home, search the house quickly,
check the closets, basement, and laundry, under beds, where
ever else you think your child may crawl or hide. Check the
doors and windows, do you see any way somebody got in. Yell
out their name. Remember all this must be acted on as fast as
possible! I can't stress that enough!

If you still cannot find your child, immediately call your
police department!

Be ready to have as much as possible details for the police.
Try not to panic as the police department will need your help.
Grab as much recent photos of your child as possible. They
will need to know vital information of your child. When you
call the police, provide your child's name, child's age,
height, weight, and any other unique identifiers such as
eyeglasses and braces. Tell them when you noticed that your
child was missing and what clothing he or she was wearing.
Supply them with the photos and if there is any signs of a
break in.

Let them know of any possible reasons your child may be missing.
Where there any friends or strangers in the home before? Are
you going through custody problems? Many missing children are
abducted by family members or known people.

The best thing to do is prepare your kids to help prevent
theses situations. Let them know over and over. Don't speak to
strangers. If you feel threatened let somebody know as soon as
possible. If you are grabbed, yell out loud for help! No one has
the right to touch, grab or force you to do anything that feels
wrong. Tell them to bite and fight as much as they can. Many
times these simple things will scare of a would be abductor.
