Missing Kids.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is doing all they can to make sure missing kids are returned safely to their families. They are a nonprofit organization that was started in 1984. The organization provides information and resources to law enforcement, families, and children.

An estimated 800,000 children are reported missing; that's more than 2,000 children every day! It is estimated that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 10 boys will be sexually victimized before the age of 18. Out of these minors, only 1 in 3 will tell anyone.

The Center's website has a number of different features that helps to spread the message and find the missing children. There is a quick search bar that let's you search state, gender, and the number of years they've been missing. You are also able to report things on the website, such as a sighting. There is also a cyber tipline that allows people to report things dealing with sexual abuse.

The website also allows you to donate and stay informed on current issues. It provides resources for parents, law enforcement, childcare providers, attorneys, and the media.

This is depressing, I know. So, they also include a number of success stories. These children need prayers and  help. Put yourself out there. Learn about the system and what's going on with these poor, missing kids. Take the time to get involved; it could mean saving a life.
