Campaigns - Missing Kids Web Site
Speed is critical in locating missing and abducted children, particularly when they have been taken across international borders. Modern technology offers an unprecedented tool to help the police find these children. Originally created in the US, the Missing Kids 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.
The website is now available in eighteen countries, with national sites linked in a global network enabling its access and use worldwide.
The website was introduced into England, Wales and Northern Ireland in June 2000, and to Scotland in June 2004. Unfortunately, it has not been used by the police as much as PACT would have wished. But, following an announcement in May 2011 by the British Government of improvements in child protection services, the UK site will now be managed by CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection) with whom PACT works closely. It is the only site of this kind which is approved by the Home Office, ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) and ACPOS (Association of Chief Police Officers Scotland).
