FBI
National Missing Children’s Day May 25
Help Us Find Them
After a teenage girl was reported missing in Virginia earlier this
year, the FBI and police worked quickly to reunite her with her family
and arrest the man who’d lured her away.
Unfortunately, not all lost children are found quickly, and some never
make it home. On National Missing Children’s Day, the FBI asks the
public for help in locating any of the victims pictured here from our
Kidnapping and Missing Persons webpage.
With its partners, the FBI continues its efforts to eradicate predators
from communities and to keep children safe. Ready response teams are
stationed across the country to quickly respond to abductions. The
Bureau offers a full array of forensic tools such as DNA, trace
evidence, impression evidence, and digital forensics. And through
improved communications, law enforcement also has the ability to
quickly share information with partners throughout the world.
The FBI also has several programs in place to educate both parents and
children about the dangers posed by predators—in person and online—and
to recover missing and endangered children should they be taken.
Through the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Teams, Innocence Lost
National Initiative, Innocent Images National Initiative, annual
Operation Cross Country, Office for Victim Assistance, Child
Exploitation Task Forces, and numerous community outreach initiatives,
the FBI and law enforcement partners are working to keep the most
vulnerable among us safe and secure.
