I've
recognised a child: what do I do?
If you see
a child that you believe is featured on the site, do the following:
1. Phone
the police for the area in which you saw the child giving details
of the time, date and place you see the child. Note descriptions of any
other person (adult or child) that is with the child.
2. DO
NOT approach the child or attempt to 'rescue' the child. Leave that to
the police.
If ANYTHING
about the situation causes you concern that the child is in immediate
danger, dial 999 and report the matter to the police.
3. Please
remember, the child could have been safely recovered since you saw
the child on the site. Even if still missing, recovering a child needs
professional expertise and is a job for the police.
4. Tell the
police that you recognise the child from the missingkids web site. This
will help their investigation.
5. You may be asked to provide evidence for
the police and/or the courts. You are
a witness to a possible crime.
The above advice applies to any situation in which you think a child is being
abducted against their will.
