Launch of missing kids TV
Major initiative launched to find missing children
Missing Kids TVTM initiative unveiled with launch of MissingKids.co.uk awareness campaign at NSY.
The Police National Missing Persons Bureau (PNMPB), children’s charity Parents and Abducted Children Together (PACT) and Electronic Health Media (EHM) have today, Wednesday 10.10.07, announced the launch of ‘ Missing Children’s TV’ at New Scotland Yard.
Over 100,000 children go missing annually in the UK.
Some run away, others are children thrown out of home, some are parental abductions, or custodial battles, and others, victims of stranger abductions.
This innovative technology will allow a child’s photograph to be sent out quickly, and effectively, targeting the general public and appealing for information as to their whereabouts.
The images of the children will also be updated on the website www.missingkids.co.uk.
Speed is of the essence in investigating a missing child, and this technology will build and assist current procedures in place at police forces across the country.
