Experts say community awareness is crucial in finding missing, abducted children Posted: 5:45 PM, Jul 09, 2021 Updated: 2021-07-09 18:45:37-04 When a child goes missing, every second counts. That's why organizations like Amber Alert Network Brazos Valley and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) were created - to help law enforcement and get these kids back home quickly and safely. âUltimately the missing child case is absolutely law enforcement's case. We are purely supporting their case, and we have a very large toolbox that we've built for the past 36, 37 years of tools, resources, family support, private sector relationships that we bring to the table and apply to these cases for free," explained John Bischoff, vice president of the Missing Children Division for the NCMEC.
