Recover Missing Children in Missouri

Boy And His Dog
We are a non-profit organization that works as an advocate for left-behind parents of missing children by ensuring that their rights are protected and that they get the help they need. We run on charitable donations to rescue kids who have been abducted, with a focus on parental abductions at the international level, for free to parents like you that need help fighting for your child.The Committee for Missing Children has more than 30 years of experience specializing in helping left-behind parents recover their missing children. In addition to providing guidance and expertise, we are capable of providing families with assistance securing travel, lodging, and other expensive aspects of the travel needed to be reunited with their children. This can include hotel rooms, plane tickets, and even taxis or other local transport to engage in the legal proceedings. In some situations, we are also capable of providing recommendations for lawyers within the country to which the child has been abducted to, as an American lawyer will typically not be able to help in these situations.

How We Can Help

To reduce the financial and emotional burden that you may experience during this process, our organization will work to help cover some of expenses that will be encountered while you are fighting for the return of your child. We are able to finance the flights to the location where the child is being detained; and we can also take care of hotel expenses as you may need to stay during the ongoing litigation, and can help with many other expenses that may arise in the course of the process to facilitate the safe return of the child.
