Act immediately if you
believe that your child is missing.
- If your child is missing from home, search the house checking closets, piles
of laundry, in and under beds, inside old refrigerators, or wherever a child may
crawl or hide.
- If you still cannot find your child, immediately
call your local law-enforcement agency.
- If your child disappears in a store, notify the store manager or security
office. Then immediately call your local
law-enforcement agency. Many stores have a
Code Adam
plan of action if a child is missing in the store, employees immediately
mobilize to look for the missing child.
- When you call law enforcement, provide your child's name, date of birth,
height, weight, and any other unique identifiers such as eyeglasses and braces.
Tell them when you noticed that your child was missing and what clothing he or
she was wearing.
- Request that your child's name and identifying information be immediately
entered into the
National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Missing Person File.
