Beyond Missing, a nationwide non-profit, helps in the search for missing children, specifically abducted youth, by providing law enforcement agencies with a secure, web-based system for the creation of missing children fliers, which are then distributed within a 200-mile radius from where the abduction took place. In addition, the organization has an on-line Parent Flyer Tool that allows parents to create and send by email or fax their own missing child fliers in english or spanish. The creation and distribution service offered by this organization is free.

BeyondMissing was founded by Marc Klaas on June 8, 2001. Marc Klaas began to pursue an aggressive child safety agenda for the nation's children following the kidnap and murder of his twelve year old daughter Polly. Mr. Klaas provides the vision and the day to day leadership for our organization.

National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC)

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has worked since 1984 to prevent the abduction, endangerment, and sexual exploitation of youth. If a youth is a victim of such an act, the NCMEC, in conjunction with local and federal agencies, has various mechanisms to report and hopefully end such abuse and exploitation. Some of these include: a national clearinghouse to report information on missing and exploited children and a Cybertipline that can be utilized by those who suspect internet-related sexual exploitation. The NCMEC’s hotline is: 1-800-THE-LOST

AMBER Alert Program

The AMBER Alert Program, named for 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, and transportation agencies to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. Broadcasters use the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to air a description of the abducted child and suspected abductor. This is the same concept used during severe weather emergencies. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and safe recovery of the child.
