Welcome to the website dedicated to the support of parents of missing
and abducted children! Support includes global resources, information,
and news on parental abduction, international child abduction, and missing
children. There are multilingual child abduction resources for international
visitors. The Child Abduction Resource Center was the first
globally oriented resource center on the planet!
Child abduction is a serious problem in today's world. Abduction by strangers
is not the only type of abduction. Parental abduction is a large and growing
form of child abduction. The website's goal is to provide a major resource of
information for parents who have been victimized by the child abductor. You
may be living a parents worst nightmare, but you are not alone. Information
empowers and breeds hope. Never give up.
