There were 876,213 missing persons in the U.S. last year alone, almost half were male and over 400,000% were children. Everyone knows about Chandra Levy, the missing Washington intern. She's the nation's most prominent missing person, but she is only one of thousands of people who disappear each year. Countless parents spend sleepless nights wondering where their child could be, unsure if they are even still alive. Having a child abducted is one of the most horrible things that can happen to a parent and a life altering experience for the child.
Please look at the missing children on this web site and
help us spread the word about them. The majority of missing
children who are found owe their lives to people like you
and your friends. The more exposure these missing kids get,
the greater the chances that they will be found. If you can
identify any of these children, call 1.800.THE.LOST
