Protect Your Child 

A child goes missing every 40 minutes in the United States, this is an alarming statistic. While 80% of these children are taken by a relative, 20% are taken by a stranger. What a horrifying experience for a child to go through!

Parents do not leave your child unattended, even for a moment. Even older children should not be allowed to roam around town on their own.

In our family we have a password, if a stranger walks up (or even someone my son may be familiar with) and asks him to go someplace with them they have to know the password. We have even done role playing scenarios to drive the point home.

A Mark Klaas Video about Missing Children 

A powerful, moving video about missing children. It will break your heart, and give you hope at the same time.

The Marc Klaas Project

PLEASE JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST SEXUAL PREDATORS. HELP MISSING CHILDREN! THE FOLLOWING TV PRESENTATION IS A SNAPSHOT OF SIX MONTHS IN THE LIFE OF MARC KLAAS, HIS STAFF, AND THE FAMILY OF A MISSING CHILD SEEKING THEIR HELP. On Oct 1, 1993, Marc Klaas' twelve-year-old daughter Polly was kidnapped and murdered . Devastated, Marc gave up his lucrative rental car franchise to pursue an aggressive child safety agenda. Mark formed KlaasKids in September, 1994., a non profit foundation dedicated to the prevention of crimes against children, stronger sentencing for violent criminals and governmental accountability and responsibility. The foundation is run by Klaas with a tight group of trusted experts. Please watch this video and follow their heroic stories of loss and redemption. The presentation covers the heartbreaking story of a missing child from the perspective of Marc Klaas and his team, as well as the family of the missing child. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL, GIVE THE VIDEO A HIGH RATING , LEAVE COMMENTS AND SEND LINKS TO YOUR FRIENDS. HELP US GET THIS MESSAGE ON TV AND ALL OVER THE WEB SO WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU.

What should I do if my child is missing? 

1. Act immediately.

2. Search your home and check with relatives, neighbors, and friends to try and locate your child.

3. If you cannot find your child, immediately report your child missing to your local law-enforcement officers.

4. Limit access to your home until law-enforcement officers arrive and are able to collect evidence.

5. Give law-enforcement officers all the information they request about your child, and be sure to give them any information that could help in the search.

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

7. Call The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST® (1-800-843-5678) to find out what resources are available to you.
