National Missing Children’s Day

National Missing Children’s Day is observed annually in the United States on May 25th. It aims to raise awareness about the issue of child abduction and the ongoing efforts to locate missing children. Established in 1983, the day encourages communities, law enforcement, and families to engage in prevention strategies and to understand resources available for assisting in recovery efforts. The day also honors the efforts of organizations and individuals working to prevent child disappearances and to help reunite missing children with their families.
