A Child is Missing is a great organization which was started in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Sherry Friedlander is the founder and has done a wonderful job of protecting and finding lost kids through out the nation. It is very simple and great program. It can launch 1000 phone calls in 60 seconds. When a child becomes missing Law Enforcement calls them and puts out the description and any unusual circumstances involved in the case. A Child is Missing starts making phone calls to everyone in the area. They can make thousands of phone calls in a very short time. Getting the word out is critical. Remember you only have an estimated 3 hours to get the Child back safely. The clock is ticking. Don't waste time and Don't panic. Every second counts. When a child becomes missing call 911 immediately. Don't waste any time and don't think that you are wasting Law Enforcements time. You can always apologize later on if you make a mistake. The mistake you don't want to make, if someone has abducted your child, is that you wasted one second. Believe me seconds count and they are valuable and you don't get them back. If you want to get your child back "Don't panic".
When Law Enforcement gets on the scene they will get a brief description from you. Try to remember what the child was wearing and try to always have an updated picture of your child. Be brief and give the best description that you can give.
If you are at home Law Enforcement will search your home and the surrounding area as quickly as they can. A Child is Missing program helps them by getting the word out quick. They make thousands of phone calls in your Neighborhood, Shopping Centers, Toll Booths, Homes, and surrounding area. Remember the more people looking the better chance of recovering your child safely. This program is free to Law Enforcement for more information go to www.achildismissing.com/
