People go missing every day, all around the world. Whether it is an adult or child; a kidnapping, abduction or sexual exploitation – the task is daunting and time is urgent.
Â
The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children's estimate for missing children is a staggering 500,000 annually across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, U.K., and the United States, a number that expands well beyond those borders.

The impacts are multi-faceted; from the impact to the missing person and his or her mental health, the impact to family – be it emotional, physical, psychological or financial, and the impact on the community as a whole.
