Every 40 seconds in America, a child vanishes. Children are our most valuable resource, and it is up to all of us to ensure their safety. Families enduring the tragedy of a missing child need the widest possible range of help. VCA provides holistic, compassionate, immediate, and expert professional assistance to thousands of families and children, free of charge. Visit us on our website at www.vca.org
The Vanished Children's Alliance is the oldest and second largest missing children's organization in the United States, and has been providing for the prevention, location, recovery and reunification of missing and abducted children since 1980 (incorporated as a 501(c)3 in 1981).
Our web site allows you to view and download posters of missing children and missing child registration forms. Learn about our agency services, and how VCA assists law enforcement and families of missing children, and serves as an educational and abduction prevention resource on the local, national and international levels. You can also learn about the special projects that VCA has developed and manages for California.
We also introduce you to other nationwide organizations working together to safeguard missing children, and invite you to become part of the solution by getting involved in our critical mission.

Thank you so much for adding me. I cannot believe that this is such a huge thing and that so many children go missing. It breaks my heart. I keep them and all other children in my prayers. I shall pray for their families for peace and some form of answer and/or closure. I..ll pray for your work too. God Bless you for having a good heart.
