Welcome to PACT

Parents and Abducted Children Together

Every year hundreds of thousands of children around the world go missing or are abducted. Some are forcibly separated from one parent by the other; some are abused; and others simply disappear, never to be found again.

PACT was created to campaign for fundamental improvements in child protection policies and practices, above all in the UK.  We are not a front-line service provider.  All our work is targeted to finding answers to the tragedy of tens of thousands of children who go missing or are abducted every year.  We do this through research, policy and advocacy.  Unlike most other charities we do not take government money beacuse we wish to remain an independent voice.

Child Rescue Alert

In 1996, 9-year old Amber Hagerman was kidnapped and brutally murdered in Arlington, Texas. Her tragic death had such a profound impact on her community that it prompted local police forces and broadcasters to develop the AMBER (America’s Missing Broadcast Emergency Response) Plan.

The plan is simple: as soon as a child is abducted, police forces alert radio and television stations. They, in turn, interrupt their programmes to broadcast information about the missing child using the Emergency Alert System (EAS), which is typically used for warning the public of severe weather emergencies.

Missing Kids Web Site

Modern technology offers an unprecedented tool to help the police find these children. Originally created in the US, the Missingkids Website can distribute images of, and information on, missing children to police and public across the world. The technology includes age progression that has been successful in identifying children years after their abduction.

Poster Campaigns

An estimated 140,000 children go missing in the UK every year – that is one child every five minutes - and their disappearance causes great anguish to the families they leave behind.

Speed is critical in locating missing and abducted children, particularly when they have been taken across international borders. The rapid distribution of a missing child’s photograph in the media and on posters can make the difference between a fast recovery and an agonizingly long search, sometimes ending in tragedy.
