Missing Childrens Day Today

Just wanted to let everyone know that today is "Missing Childrens Day" in both the U.S. and Canada.

Each president since Ronald Reagan has commemorated May 25th as National Missing Children's Day to remind the nation to make child protection a national priority.

Our work with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force program has made a difference in neighborhoods across the country in the lives of many children and their families. As the AMBER Alert Program National Coordinator, I'm gratified to report the program has led to the successful recovery of 584 abducted children since its creation in 1996.

With the large amount of conspiracies surrounding missing children I thought it would be good to let everyone know that there are many vicious predators out there and even more vulnerable children. National awareness needs to be expanded and any child abduction rings need to be sought out and destroyed.

Just bumping the thread so others can see.

It also happens to be Cookie Monster's birthday today (related?)

Thank you for bringing that to our awareness, for those that did not know.

I'm sure the missing children, and their loved ones thank you as well.

I have to correct myself. Missing Childrens Day is international, not secluded to North America.

Also, a new app was just created and parents should really look into this:

The free app allows parents to send details of their missing child to people within a one mile radius, alerting the local community about a lost child. Whether in a park, a seaside resort or a shopping center, people nearby will be alerted as soon as the parents use the app to activate an alert.

I'll try to add a few to the list in celebration.......j/k

Does anyone know what percentage of missing children are due to family disputes?

Some of those on there have been missing for quite some time. I couldn't imagine the hell I would go through if that was one of my kids.

My prayers go out to the families who are missing love ones..
