Report a missing child

This report goes directly to child protection professionals. You do not need an account, and your details are never made public.

Step 1 — Before you begin

If the child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services or the nearest police station now.

This report supports the professional response — it does not replace an emergency call.

Do not confront anyone you suspect of taking the child.

If you know or suspect where the child is, share it in this report and let trained professionals act. Confrontation can put the child at greater risk.

Take a few minutes to gather what you know: where the child was last seen, when, what they were wearing, and a recent photo if you have one. You can still submit with partial information.

Step 2 — About the child

Share what you know. Approximate details still help.

JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB. The photo is kept private and is only seen by authorized child protection professionals. It is never published without a separate safeguarding approval.

Step 3 — When and where the child was last seen

If you have not yet done so, contact your local emergency services now — then finish this report. It will be treated as critical.

Step 4 — About you

Professionals may need to reach you quickly to verify details. Your contact information is never made public.

Step 5 — Notice and submission
