If Your Child is Lost
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 large
appliances, and inside vehicles, including trunks—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.
After you have reported your child missing to law enforcement, call
the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children on our
toll-free telephone number: 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).
