Parents of Missing Kids

I created this lens to support the Polly Klaas® Foundation. You can help, too.

Help the Polly Klaas® Foundation find missing children, prevent children from going missing, and pass laws like Amber Alert that help keep children safe. Build a lens for them at the Polly Klaas® Foundation Headquarters on Squidoo or visit the Polly Klaas® Foundation website.

Parents of Missing Kids

Making a difference

Many Parents of abducted kids have made a difference. The Parents are not the victims. The children are the victims but parents suffer because their child suffers. John and Reve Walsh have made a big difference in helping missing kids. John spends more time in the front line and on television where Reve spends time behind the scene. I have seen Reve speak at a LEACH (Law Enforcement against child harm) program. She is just as committed as John Walsh. Some people have criticized and accused him of cashing in or exploiting his son Adams misfortune but that is not the case. After Adam was murdered John did not want to do anything, even work. John find out shortly that the Power Company and the Water Company will cut off your power and water, if you do not pay your bills. They want leave them on just because your son was abducted and murdered. People will never know all the things the Walsh's have done.
