WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!! A Child Is Missing, Inc., operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit assisting law enforcement agencies in Florida and across the nation with cases of missing children, the elderly, the disabled, and other vulnerable individuals. While Amber Alert focuses on abducted children, specially trained technicians of A Child Is Missing activate Alert Calls in the area where the person was last seen with personalized and specific details. We initiate 1,000+ calls to homes and businesses nearby with information of the missing person that concludes with instructions on how to reach the law enforcement agency with any information or sightings. In our 23 years of service, this unique Alert Program has been invaluable to law enforcement agencies, assisting in over 70,000 missing person cases. The State of Florida discontinued our funding for this “essential service” to Florida Law Enforcement Agencies. And with law enforcement funding also in jeopardy, not all agencies have been able to make a financial contribution toward continuing our operation; still, many have committed to support our mission and given us funds out of their own dwindling budgets. A Child Is Missing, Inc., wishes to continue this vital, “essential tool” to law enforcement and our communities; but we need your help! We are in a time when the officers and deputies need a reliable resource, such as ours, more than ever. If you can help support or would like more information on our A Child Is Missing Alert Program, call us at (954) 763-1288, to discuss how we can work together to continue to assist law enforcement in the search and recovery of our missing children, the elderly, and other vulnerable individuals.

“ This program provides the necessary coordination and rapid response, which are essential factors in the recovery effort.” – Chief Alexander Rolle, Jr., Homestead Police Department

Mission

We assist law enforcement agencies in the early search and recovery of missing children (often with Autism & Down syndrome), the elderly (often with Alzheimer’s disease), the disabled, and college students in the first hours of their disappearance, by use of our Alert System. We also offer Child Safety Education Programs to children and adolescents through parks and recreation summer camp programs, and in schools to vulnerable/high-risk youth. 

Goals

Since 1997, our Alert Program has been assisting law enforcement nationwide in saving the lives of children and the elderly. We have assisted in over 65,000 cases and sent out over 80 million alert calls.

To serve as educators and resources for children facing the potential dangers of bullying, peer pressure, and predators both online and offline.  We believe children have the right to a safe and bully-free educational environment. We provide them with personal safety and anti-bullying guidance to help them with effective communication skills to navigate their own successful path in life. 

Missing Alerts

We send out alerts to the surrounding areas where children or elderly persons are last seen before they're reported as missing. 

Child Safety Education Program

Our teachers visit summer camps, and schools to educate children and adolescents about effective communication, awareness of bullying, and personal safety, including dangers of the internet.
