After a CRITICAL MISSING ALERT is received, you send it forward to more people. They, in turn, are also able to send it forward. Through this system, we are able to give these precious children a much GREATER chance to be found.
*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~~*
The CRITICAL MISSING ALERTS will include the child's photo (as soon as it's available) and description, last known location, and suspect and vehicle descriptions if available.
*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~~*
Please, Help Missing Children. Take action. Help bring awareness. BE a part of the PHMCWeb. PLEASE HELP FIND A MISSING CHILD!
*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~~*
WHEN A CHILD GOES MISSING it alters the Universe. Especially the world within which he or she lives.
Parents and guardians of a missing child MUST be able to provide information about their child that they may not be able to bring to mind. Filled with terror, it is beyond difficult to bring rational reasoning and memory to mind.
*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~~*
The police will need a detailed description of your child. They will need to know what he or she was wearing. (Start paying close attention to this each morning.) They will need to have a photo, physical description, and a great deal of other relevant and vital information.
*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~~*
THE QUICKER YOU CAN GIVE THE POLICE THE INFORMATION THEY NEED, THE FASTER THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE SYSTEM AND ONTO THE AIRWAVES.
*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~~*
I want you to be prepared in the event that your child has disappeared.
*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~~*
I urge all parents and guardians to read and maintain a copy of National Center for Missing and Exploited's Quick Reference Guide.

Do-It-Yourself DNA Sampling Kit
*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~~*

The KlaasKids Foundation and the State of California DNA Laboratory have created a Do-It-Yourself DNA Collection Kit using common household items. Now, for the first time you can sample and store your children's DNA with total confidence, but without the unnecessary expense of purchasing DNA Kits which cost between $5.00 and $20.00 per child.
*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~~*

As highly publicized court cases are regularly proving, DNA analysis is fast becoming the "genetic fingerprint" of the new millennium. In its most simple terms, DNA is the fundamental building block that defines us as individuals. Every cell of every living entity contains DNA that is unique to that animal or plant. My DNA is exactly the same in every one of my cells and nobody else's DNA is exactly like mine.

Required Equipment:
One cotton tip/swab
Two zip-lock plastic baggies
*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~~*

Procedure:
*Rub a clean (sterile if possible) cotton tip/swab* on inside of cheek until moist.
*Let cotton tip/swab air dry for twenty-four hours.
*When dry, place cotton swab in a zip-lock bag and seal bag.
*Label with permanent pen - child's name and sample date.
*Place in 2nd zip-lock bag and save in freezer until needed.
*Follow the same procedure for blood sample. However, wait until child scrapes or cuts him/herself before taking sample.
*You may also save baby teeth in same manner.
* You can also use sterile gauze or a clean piece of filter paper.

Statistics have proven that the first three hours following an abduction are the most critical to locating a missing child.
BE PREPARED.
