It's a hard decision to become involved in someone else's family life. Trust your instincts for any family situations that do not seem right and follow these guidelines:
A child who's been abducted . . .
|
On December 4, 1972, 7-year-old Steven Stayner was walking home from school. Two men in a car told him they were collecting money for the church. He agreed to show them the way to his house. For the next 7 years, Steve grew up as an abducted, sexually abused child. Some people knew, but didn't do anything. Some suspected, but would not get involved. Most people didn't see the signs that could have saved him. And so it went on.

Many families have been reunited because someone sensed that a child's living situation is not quite right. Media resources, such as TV, the Internet, newspapers, magazines, posters, flyers, advertising mailers, and the Executive Memorandum of Missing Children's display of missing children's pictures, give hope for the safe return of our missing children.
If you suspect that someone is a child abductor, or you have spotted a missing child, or you suspect a child is in trouble, call your local police department and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Provide this information:
