The first 48 hours in a Runaway and Missing Children case are the most crucial, and the longer it takes to get an investigation going, the greater the risk to the child. Your first step should be to call 9-1-1 immediately.
Having a child run away or go missing is one of the worst fears of any parent, and it will result in overwhelming emotional reactions that make logic and decision-making difficult to deal with. If you have a child who has gone missing, call the police immediately and open an investigation. Once you have done that, call ICS. The police will assign an investigator, but the department is often limited in their time and resources, and their staff will be stretched thin across many different cases. By calling ICS, you ensure that someone is dedicated full-time to finding and retrieving your child as quickly as possible. Our investigators work discreetly and efficiently, and we have sources and contacts in every dark corner of the United States and around the world that add to our global network of resources.
