Bring Children Home Safe
A child is reported missing nearly once every forty seconds, which is a very alarming rate. The same way that physical abuse can affect a child’s mental state for years, so can cases of child abduction, even if it is committed by one of their own parents. The majority of child abduction cases are actually perpetrated by people that the children know or are at least familiar with, making it easier for the abductor to mislead the child into trusting them. The total number of cases reported in the United States each year is over 350,000. This is a number that is simply astounding, it means that nearly half the population of South Dakota would be abducted every year if the statistic was applied to that state. For parents that have had their child abducted, organizations such as the Child Abduction Resource Center can really help the fight for the child’s safe return.
The website, http://www.globalmissing.com, offers a variety of useful resources and information to users of the website. They have all the latest news regarding child abduction available on the site and is updated regularly by Google News. There are a few different types of videos to watch on the CARC site. Informative videos are on there so that people can learn about topics such as parental abduction, and there are also videos of children that have been abducted. Having the face of a missing child being posted on a website like this can really bring attention to the situation and the exposure can help to bring the child home safely. Also, for parents that have experienced child abduction, there is a missing child resource that can be used to create a missing flyer for their child using the template provided. The flyers can then be printed in either English or Spanish and distributed within their community or anywhere else that the parents choose to place the posters.
One of the most important features of this website is the survival guide that is available to parents. It is a page that meticulously details every part of the child abduction process and what role the parents can play in their child’s safe return. The guide explains how the media should be dealt with, how to make good use of volunteers, and how to regain personal and emotional strength, just to name a few things. This really is the perfect guide for parents that have been put in this heartbreaking situation. There are also essays and articles dealing with child abduction, abuse, and child rights. Visiting the Child Abduction Resource Center is a must for parents, regardless of whether they can handle the issue alone or not.
