Missing Child Rescue Operations are redefining how we find and protect missing children across the U.S. By combining innovative strategies, collaborative partnerships, and the expertise of dedicated professionals, these operations transform lives—one child, one case, and one community at a time.

January is Human Trafficking Awareness month—a time to shine a light on one of the darkest crimes affecting our children. Missing kids are some of the most at-risk for trafficking. They’re isolated, scared, and desperate for connection, making them prime targets for traffickers. But this month is also a call to action—a time to educate ourselves. Here’s the truth: when we choose to care—deeply and relentlessly—about creating better outcomes for missing kids, we can disrupt cycles of exploitation and help provide new opportunities for hope and healing. Caring isn’t passive. It’s action. It’s showing up, learning to recognize the signs, and standing together to protect our most vulnerable. Because every single child deserves safety. 💛 Join the mission at ncptf.org/get-involved
