Standards
for Calltakers when Handling Calls Pertaining to Missing and Sexually
Exploited Children
Time is critical when responding to reports of missing or sexually exploited
children. How these reports are handled is important and can mean the
difference between life and death for many children. Yet, there is no
standardized process that is used by the nation’s 9-1-1 Call Centers
when answering these types of calls. These standards have been created
to address that problem. They provide a step-by-step protocol of how
call takers should handle calls of missing or sexually exploited children.
For more information or to request assistance,
call 1-800-THE-LOST® (toll-free,
24/7).
