What should parents do if they find out that their child is missing?

After discovering that the child is missing, parents should immediately bring the child's relevant identity information to the local police station to report to the police.

According to Tencent News, on April 5, a 7-year-old boy in Hechi, Guangxi, followed his parents and family to visit the tomb on the Qingming Festival, but found an accident, when the adults met together at the bottom of the mountain, they found that the child was missing. After learning that the child was lost, the family was also very anxious, and hurriedly turned back to look for it, dozens of people searched for the child in the nearby mountains for most of the day, but still no trace of the child was found. The family has been looking for the child for a long time without success, and there is nothing to be done but call the police for help, please **Help find the child.

The disappearance of a 7-year-old boy mentioned in the report is a reminder that parents should call the police as soon as a child goes missing. According to incomplete statistics, about 200,000 children go missing every year, and only those are recovered. Behind the missing children are the helpless expectations of families.

So, how long does it take for a missing child to call the police for help? Let's take a look.

We know that children are missing and trafficked in the majority. Because of the high profits of trafficking in women and children, this criminal act has been repeatedly prohibited, so we should pay due attention to it.

According to the relevant regulations, under normal circumstances, the time limit is 24 hours for the police, but children, as persons with no capacity for civil conduct, are not subject to the 24-hour time limit. If we have evidence to prove that the personal safety of the child may be in danger, or that the child may be violated at any time, then you can report the case to the public security organ at any time, this is not limited by time, it is in accordance with the provisions of jurisdiction, and the public security organ should immediately file a criminal case, quickly carry out investigation, and make every effort to protect the lives and safety of citizens.

As soon as a child is discovered, the child's identity information should be brought with them, and the case should be immediately reported to the local police station, providing detailed information about the child, including the child's name, gender, age, height, physical characteristics, clothing at the time of the disappearance, the place of disappearance, the time of disappearance, and a description of the specific circumstances at the time of disappearance. After the case is reported, the public security organ will file a case for investigation after approval, so it can be said that the 24 hours after the disappearance of the child is the first cycle to find the missing child.

In fact, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Rather than reporting to the police after a child has gone missing, it is better to start by preventing the child from going missing. I believe that the disappearance of children is not only due to their own reasons, but also to the failure of parents to take care of their children.

Therefore, instead of passively searching for a missing child, it is better to do your homework in advance, and parents or guardians should take good care of the child to avoid disappearances and other situations. At the same time, children should also develop the habit of greeting when leaving their parents, and let the children remember the parents' names, **, and put a contact card with the parents' names and contact ** on the child's body in case of emergency.

Our country's law requires 48 hours for a disappearance to be investigated, but it is possible to report to the police before 48 hours.

Therefore, if you find that the child is missing, the first time is to call the police and ask for the help of the police, although the case cannot be filed at this time, but the police can play a certain role in helping, because it is not easy to file a case, it involves a criminal case, and it cannot be revoked after the case is filed, and a large number of police forces need to be dispatched.

After calling the police, the first thing to do as a mother is to calm down, what you should do is to think about whether you have taken your child to **, whether you have forgotten the child**, go to the place where you have walked to find the child, and think about whether you have encountered suspicious people.

You can also give a ** to the child's companion's home to see if the child is greedy for fun and runs out, whether it goes to a good friend's house, these are all methods worth doing.

Note that if the child is still not found within 48 hours, you must go to the police again, apply for the intervention of **, and request ** to file a case for investigation. You can put up some leaflets and ask for help from people and organizations.

Finally, I would like to say that no matter what the child's situation is, we must be calm and face it with a positive attitude!

As an addition, it is important to leave one person at home to prevent the child from coming back and leaving no one at home.

It is worth noting that this reminds parents to teach their children some anti-trafficking awareness.

What should I do if my child is missing? If the child is missing, we must take action to remedy it in the first place, so what should be done?

If your child is missing, then parents should call the police for help in time, and explain the child's characteristics, clothing, and the location of the missing. It is convenient to grasp the clues and arrange the police to find them. Secondly, look carefully in the place where the child is lost, and ask more about the surrounding people and shops, and at the same time, relatives and friends at home, as well as the child's classmates and friends, should not be left behind.

If you can, ask them to help find someone too. In addition, if there is a radio in the area where the child is lost, you can also use the radio to find someone.

There are some misconceptions in society at the moment. The police used to have a 24-hour report before a case is formally filed, but this is mainly for adults. Since 2009, the Ministry of Public Security has issued new regulations on the nationwide campaign to crack down on abduction and trafficking, and every case of missing children and trafficking in women must be immediately filed and investigated.

Even if a child is lost, ** will do their best to find it. You don't have to worry about having no way to ask for help. It is important to emphasize that if someone sees a child being taken away, parents should provide detailed information such as the child's recent photo, physical characteristics, habits, clothing on the day, and the characteristics of the suspect who took the child as much as possible.

The 24 hours after the disappearance of the child is the first search period, and when the child is found missing or lost, the guardian or parent should immediately report to the police. **After receiving the report, we will conduct an investigation as soon as possible, and there is no need to wait for 24 hours.

If the unfortunate child is missing, parents remember that the first thing to do is to call the police, followed by the search through **, and then there is to find multiple people to search together.

1.Alarm. When a child goes missing, parents should call the police immediately. According to the response of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the child should be reported to the police immediately after it is lost, so that ** can activate the emergency search mechanism for the missing child to go all out to help find the lost child.

I don't know if you know, but in 2016, the Ministry of Public Security created the "Missing Children Emergency Release Platform", also known as the "Reunion" system. It is supported by Alibaba, and through the DingTalk system, it pushes the news of national investigation to dozens of high-traffic platform users such as patrol police, police, and Ele.me, Didi Chuxing, Alipay, Toutiao, APP, and Weibo within a specific radius of the coordinates of the incident.

2.Don't think that everything will be fine if you call the police, parents themselves should do their best to find their children, and the best way is to broadcast. For example, if the child is lost in a park or shopping mall, then you must quickly borrow the radio to find the person.

There are still a lot of well-wishers, and they usually send their children back safely when they meet them.

3.If you don't find the broadcast, you have to chase the child everywhere by yourself, how can it be more effective? Here is an introduction to Wang Dawei, a professor at the Chinese People's Public Security University and a doctor of education law, who summarized the Ten People Four Pursuit Law.

Find eight people who are more familiar with the child, or provide the child's recent **, and then chase two people in one direction in four directions. The reason why we have to chase in all four directions is because Professor Wang had a neighbor who lost a child when his grandmother washed a pacifier, and then when the child's father was looking for it, someone said that he saw it going north, so he called a few people to chase it north, but he didn't find it back. Therefore, someone has to ask and look for each direction, in case you encounter a gang of traffickers who deliberately mislead the direction.

The mother stays where she is and does not move, in case the child finds it on his own and cannot see anyone, it will be even more difficult to find it if he gets lost again.

Dad hurried to the nearby bus station and train station, if the child was simply lost, he would definitely be able to find it, for fear of encountering human traffickers. If the child is transferred out of the local area as soon as possible, then the difficulty factor of trying to get it back will suddenly cross to the hell level.

If the child is accidentally lost, parents must do everything possible to find it, and do not lose confidence if they can't find it for a while. You can use a leash to prevent your child from getting lost, or you can teach your child to carry your mobile phone number and home address, or put a note containing this information in your child's pocket, so as to give your child's safety an extra protection.

If a child is found missing, parents should immediately report to the police and provide detailed information about the child's loss, including the child's name, age, height, weight, household registration, ID number, etc. In addition, parents can also search for possible witnesses in the surrounding area and publish missing notices through social media**, newspapers, TV and other channels, hoping to find the missing child as soon as possible. At the same time, parents should also remain calm and patient, maintain close contact with **, and cooperate with ** in the search operation.

When a child is really accidentally lost, what should parents do in the first place to increase the chances of finding the child? 1. Cry out for help and ask for help.

If you are traveling alone, the power of one person is definitely limited, and shouting for help to attract the attention of pedestrians may be able to get favorable clues in time. At the same time, be sure to contact family and relatives and friends urgently, and rush to the scene as soon as possible to expand the scope of the search. 2. Leave one person in place and wait.

If the child is just mistaken or lost, when he returns to find that his parents are not there, he may run around in a panic. Leaving someone where they are and waiting can motivate people around them to look nearby. It should also be noted that if you are in a public place such as a supermarket or shopping mall, you can immediately contact the staff to broadcast a search for you, and if a good Samaritan finds out, you may also get help from a good Samaritan.

3. Alarm.

If your child is lost, you should call the police immediately and do not wait until 24 hours have passed, otherwise you will miss the best opportunity to find your child. Parents should not be too flustered at this time, and must provide the main physical characteristics of the child in as much detail as possible, and what color clothes they wore when they were lost. Fourth, find the child's lost place in time and monitor.

In order to avoid blind searching, it is necessary to find the place where the child is lost in time, monitor it, determine whether the child is lost and whether it is taken away by the traffickers, search the station, dock and other places in a targeted manner according to the clues, and use the power of the police to prevent the traffickers from escaping. Fifth, network proliferation.

The power of the Internet is endless, when a child is accidentally lost, we must log in to the emergency release platform for missing children in time to report the missing information, and use friends around you to spread the Internet in time to increase the chance of finding the child.

Traffickers usually take off their school uniforms, school pants, and other clothes, shoes, and socks that they were wearing when they stun them, and replace them with clothes and pants they got from thrift markets, so that everyone can not recognize the children, thus adding time for them to transfer their children.

In cases where a declaration of disappearance is to be reported to the public security organs, two years later after obtaining a written certificate from the public security organs that the citizen's whereabouts are unknown, an application may be made to the basic level people's court for the missing person's residence.

Article 40 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China: Where a natural person's whereabouts have been unknown for two years, interested parties may apply to the people's court to declare the natural person a missing person.

Article 41: The period during which a natural person's whereabouts are unknown is calculated from the date on which he or she loses his or her news. Where their whereabouts are unknown during the war, the time period for which their whereabouts are unknown is calculated from the date of the end of the war or the date on which the whereabouts are determined by the relevant organs to be unknown.

Article 183 of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China: Where a citizen's whereabouts have been unknown for two years, and an interested party applies for a declaration of his or her disappearance, it is to be submitted to the basic level people's court for the place where the person whose whereabouts are unknown.

The application shall clearly state the facts, time, and request for disappearance, and shall be accompanied by a written certificate from the public security organ or other relevant organ that the citizen's whereabouts are unknown.

Article 185:After a people's court accepts a case announcing Zhongheng's disappearance or death, it shall issue a public notice searching for a person whose whereabouts are unknown. The period for the declaration of disappearance is three months, and the period for the declaration of death is one year. Where the whereabouts of the citizen are unknown due to an accident and it is proved by the relevant authorities that the citizen is unlikely to survive, the period for announcing the death shall be three months.

At the completion of the public notice period, the people's court shall make a judgment declaring the disappearance or death or rejecting the application based on whether the facts of the declaration of disappearance or death have been confirmed.

From the above provisions, we can see that in cases of disappearance, a case of disappearance may first be reported to the public security organs, and after two years, a written certificate of the citizen's whereabouts is unknown may be obtained from the public security organs, and then an application may be made to the basic level people's court at the place where the disappeared person is domiciled.
