Be alert when out and about. You never know when you might see a lost person. It can happen even after years

Six Missing persons

Six woman missing from 1995 to 2006 from a 50 miles range

Although it may not mean a thing these woman resemble - in age and looks

3 had been at a club and disappeared
2 were running to a store
1 made it home after a night out and vanished

Three things that they have in common; they all left children behind - they all have not been found - and they all have been forgotten by their communities.

Madame Chirac Makes Historic Appeal to End Global Child Exploitation

CEO Of Leading Children's Organization Briefs Queens and First Ladies In Paris On Missing and Sexually Exploited Children



Madame Chirac Makes Historic Appeal to End Global Child Exploitation

ALEXANDRIA, Va. and PARIS, Jan. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Ernie
Allen, the President and CEO of the International Centre for Missing &
Exploited Children (ICMEC), based in Alexandria, Virginia, today briefed
queens and first ladies from eight nations on the issue of missing,
abducted and sexually exploited children. The meeting was hosted by First
Lady of the Republic of France, Bernadette Chirac, at the Elysee Palace in
Paris, and was attended by Laura Bush, the First Lady of the United States;
Queen Silvia of Sweden; Queen Paola of Belgium; Lyudmila Putin, the First
Lady of Russia; Suzanne Mubarak, the First Lady of Egypt; Jolanta
Kwasniewska, the former First Lady of Poland; Margarida Sousa Uva Barroso,
the wife of the President of the European Commission and former First Lady
of Portugal; and Valentina Matvienko, the former Deputy Prime Minister of
the Russian Federation and current Governor of St. Petersburg. Allen's
briefing took place during a meeting of the organization's Honorary Board
of Directors.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Madame Chirac issued an historic
"Declaration de Paris," calling upon all European Union Member States to
unite in the protection of children worldwide.
Allen, who is also President and CEO of ICMEC's sister organization in
the U.S., the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC),
reported, "We are witnessing an explosion in child sexual exploitation
worldwide. The statistics regarding the number of missing, abducted, and
sexually exploited children around the world are alarming."
He stated that leading scholars indicate that 1 in 5 girls, and 1 in 10
boys, will be sexually victimized in some way before they reach the age of
18. The most recent studies indicate that nearly two million children are
being used in the commercial sex trade, including some as young as 14
months of age.
He also discussed the impact of the Internet on child sexual
exploitation. In a very short time, child pornography has become a
multi-billion dollar commercial industry, perhaps the fastest growing
business on the Internet. Yet, a 2005 review by ICMEC of existing child
pornography laws in the 186 member countries of Interpol found that 95
nations had no law at all on child pornography and 136 nations do not make
it a crime to possess child pornography.
In 2006, a Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography was created by
ICMEC and NCMEC with a goal of eradicating commercial child pornography by
2008, following the money and stopping payments. Participants in the
coalition include 29 of the world's leading financial and Internet
companies who, in an unprecedented move, have pledged to work together to
shut down these Internet websites. Members of the Coalition include America
Online, American Express, Bank of America, Chase Bank, Citigroup, Deutsche
Bank, Google, HSBC, MasterCard, Microsoft, Standard Chartered Bank, Visa,
and Yahoo, among others.
Microsoft is also working with ICMEC to provide training on computer-
facilitated crimes against children. To date, in partnership with Interpol,
ICMEC has trained law-enforcement officials from 96 countries.
Still more needs to be done. Allen outlined four recommendations.

(1) Improve the ability of every nation to protect its children by
creating better reporting and creating new centers focusing on
abduction and exploitation before human tragedies occur;

(2) Engage and mobilize the media and other private sector companies to
offer assistance in finding missing children. Protecting the world's
children cannot be left solely to governments;

(3) Continue to disrupt the efforts of those who use the Internet to
exploit and victimize children by eliminating the profitability of
child pornography;

(4) Raise awareness about these issues among world leaders and persuade
them to enact and enforce stricter laws that crack down on child
pornography and exploitation.
"In a civilized society, if our children are not safe, then nothing
else matters," stated Allen. "These are among the most powerful,
influential and respected women in the world. I am confident that their
message today will mobilize many nations to take swift action to eradicate
these insidious acts against children."
The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children is a private,
nonprofit 501(c)(3) nongovernmental organization. It is the leading agency
working on a global basis to combat child abduction and exploitation. It is
the sister organization of the National Center for Missing & Exploited
Children. For more information, visit http://www.icmec.org.

When Kids Go Missing

I can't even imagine the despair and ecstasy of two Missouri families whose sons went missing, then suddenly were found alive at their kidnapper's apartment -- just a couple of hours away.

Now comes some deep-down parenting work that -- again -- few of us can even imagine, as the parents reconnect with their children -- one of whom was gone for four years.

As a journalist, I've been on the fringes of many missing kid cases -- local and national. Most don't turn out this way; that's for sure. As a parent, my heart leapt late Friday at the news about these missing boys. I wondered: What comes next? And, how can I keep my kid safe?

Most of the intrigue in the missing boys' story has centered on Shawn Hornbeak, 15, who was taken from his hometown of Richwoods, Mo., when he was 11. Reports say he had relative freedom, living with his captor, so everyone wonders why he didn't flee or call for help.

There could be lots of reasons, and everybody is speculating on them, of course. But speculation aside, experts say bringing a child back home after this kind of harrowing experience can be a delicate operation.

Newsweek has a fascinating interview with Ed Smart, father of Elizabeth Smart, a youngster who went missing in a famous kidnapping cases in Utah.

The other boy, Ben Owenby, had been missing for only about a week -- which must have seemed like an eternity to his frantic parents. It's important to note that the boys are at fault for what happened to them.

Dangers seem to lurk where our children are every day, and it's up to parents to try to prepare them, talk to them honestly and ... well, realize that even the most vigilant parent can't be everywhere, and you never know when your kids will need this kind of counsel.

Just this week, for instance, there was a brief story in the Sentinel about two girls who were approached by a stranger who tried to lure them into his car. Fortunately, they knew what to do, so the incident didn't turn into a horror story.

Here are some resources to help you with this important task.

An all-purpose site for info about missing children and how to keep kids safe is the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. The site has oodles of tips on keeping kids safe and includes plenty of discussion of the ever-growing Internet threats. And it has information on the situation with missing kids across the country.

The Florida Missing Children Information Clearinghouse is administered by the FDLE and has lots of good general information, links and info that's specific to our state, including Ch*I*P, the child identification program that helps parents obtain a clinical DNA sample that can be used to help identify their kids.

As I pored over all this, I thought back to when I was a kid. Sure, we were told to stay away from strangers and taught basic safety. But it was a different time.

I also remembered reading a short story by O. Henry -- "The Ransom of Red Chief" -- in which a devilish little boy gets the best of two would-be kidnappers. A kidnapped child played as a farce?? It hardly seems possible today.

Re-reading the tale of spunky little "Red Chief," I realized the greatest weapon we have against those who would hurt our children is, in fact, our children. That's why safety education is so important. Empowered, well-grounded and prepared, our kids can help us protect them like nobody else can.

The Science of Updating Missing Children's Pictures

JACKSONIVLLE, FL -- The mother of a missing Jacksonville boy is seeing new pictures of what her son Mark Degner may look like.

"I really had a big chill about it, just to see it," said Linda Alligood, Mark Degner's mother.

Degner and his friend, Bryan Hayes, were last seen on Feb. 10, 2005, leaving Paxon Middle School. They are classified as missing children and considered in danger.

Forensic compositing is involved in using existing pictures and developing an image of what a person may look like two, 10 or 20 years down the road.

"It’s part science, definitely a lot of science, part art, also part intuition" said Emy Craciunescu, who works with Photojoe, and makes age progression and regression pictures.

When aging a person, Craciunescu says an artist, assisted by a computer, will build a photograph based on "the eyes…the facial shape. We kind of take a look at the bone structure, the cheeks, the mouth."

The challenge, he says, is capturing the personality that comes with facial expressions like the smile.

The pictures - age-progressed by two years - were released by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children last week.

"It is like, you know, he's big, gotten a lot thinner and taller," Alligood said.
