In Texas, the problem of missing children happens more than we'd like to admit. Every month, numerous teens go missing for various reasons. It's a horrible situation that no family should go through.

One organization doing good work in this arena is the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). They are a vital resource for families and law enforcement agencies. When a child goes missing, time means everything. The faster the action, the better the chances are of bringing the child home safely.
