International Missing Children’s Day

It’s something none of us want to think about but every day, across the world, children go missing. They leave behind desperate family members and many unanswered questions.

Today is International Missing Children’s Day.

International Missing Children’s Day, 25 May, is a day to commemorate missing children who have been found, remember those who have been victims of crime and continue efforts to find those who are still missing. This year the focus is on parental / family abduction.

Approximately 100 000 children go missing in the U.K. every year. In Canada 55 000 children are reported missing every year.

The pain of not knowing where your children are and what might of happened to them must be ust about unbearable.

Please visit the Help Bring Them Home website and release a balloon on behalf of a missing child.

    It must be unbearable to not know where your loved ones are. Good thing there are people who help…
    Sad if they only find a body.
