System to Search Missing Children

Salem: The State-Level Consultation Committee on ‘Trafficking of children’ has urged the policymakers to evolve a system that will enable individuals and organisations to trace missing children and rehabilitate them.

In the wake of Nithari killings, the panellists pointed out that it had become all the more important and an issue that needs to be dealt fast and in an effective manner.

They drew attention to the media reports on hundreds of missing children in the country and noted that there existed a wide gap in the centralised search existing for the people who had lost their children and those who were ready to trace them.

The parents and organisations had been waiting for long for an effective co-ordinated forum to trace the missing children in the country. To meet this vital demand.

The Salem Don Bosco Anbu Illam in collaboration with Homelink Network launched a website, www.missingchildsearch.net, exclusively for this important social issue. Salem City Deputy Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) P. Sakthivel inaugurated the website.

Online service

The exclusive web-based application would cater to the needs of unaccompanied children and children in dire straits and their parents or people who would be searching for them. It is an online service exclusively for children at risk. Child-missing complaints could be lodged on this online facility, which in turn would prompt any responsible citizen to trace the children.

Public could search their children on this site, which had a network of 65 cities in 13 states. Those who participated included Provincial Trichy Rev. Fr. Amalraj Soosai, Rev. Fr. George Kolashany (New Delhi), Vidya Sagar (UNICEF), Suriya Benjamine and Ruby Thiyagarajan (both YWCA, Salem) and anti-trafficking committee members.
