If you have information regarding a missing child please report any information to your local authorities. This is not a website designed to receive information regarding missing children specifics for any on going investigation or case. All information must be reported by law to the proper authorities.

If your child is missing from your home base, search the house first, checking closets, piles of laundry, in and under beds, inside large appliances, and inside vehicles, including trunks—wherever a child may crawl or hide.

If you still cannot find your child, call your local law enforcement agency immediately.

If your child disappears in a store, notify the store manager or security office. Then immediately call your local law-enforcement agency. Many stores have a Code Adam plan of action— if a child is missing in the store, employees immediately mobilize to look for the missing child.

When you call law enforcement, provide your child’s name, date of birth, 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. Having a recent picture on hand, either in your wallet or phone device, can be an essential tool for identifying your child more quickly.

Request that your child’s name and identifying information, including pictures, be immediately entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Missing Person File.

After you have reported your child missing to law enforcement, call the National Center for Missing Children; Exploited Children (NCMEC) on their toll-free telephone number: 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678). Or you can use their Live Hotline to talk to NCMEC through their web site.
