When your child is missing, your mind races through so many questions – what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. It is overwhelming. We understand. We have been there. We designed this publication to help you take each necessary step, contact the right people, and know how to move forward.
”I remember standing in the middle of the chaos
and wishing I had a book to tell me what to do.”

”When first talking with law enforcement, there's so much to take in. Your mind goes blank. Have someone with you who can write things down.”
-Nacole Svendgard, mother of Jessika
”Gear up for what must happen in the first 24 to 48 hours. It’s time to fortify your mind, your soul. Prioritize self-care and family care, too, because you will need both.”
-Dr. Noelle Hunter, mother of Maayimuna N'Diaye, “Muna”
”Don’t feel guilty about laughing. Your other children need to see you smile.”
-Elaine Hall, mother of Dylan Redwine
”We know it’s hard, but do your best to take a deep breath. Take your time. Ask questions. Take comfort in knowing there are many people who can help. You are not alone in this.”
