KEEPING KIDS SAFE
FROM PREDATORS
In a world where exploiters prey on vulnerable children, Special Operations | Finding Kids is the only organization in the region dedicated to hiring boots-on-the-ground private investigators — at no cost to parents — to find missing and exploited children.
We fill critical gaps in the system, including ensuring youth and families have the support they need, and passing information to law enforcement to hold perpetrators accountable.
“THERE CAN BE NO KEENER REVELATION
OF A SOCIETY’S SOUL THAN THE WAY
IT TREATS ITS CHILDREN”
Nelson Mandela
A PUBLIC-PRIVATE COLLABORATION
BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE COMMUNITY TO RECOVER YOUTH AND IDENTIFY PREDATORS.
Special Operations | Finding Kids is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that fills a critical gap by hiring private investigators to find missing and exploited youth. Our boots-on-the ground investigators search the streets and the internet to locate the child and gather the evidence needed for law enforcement to hold the perpetrators accountable. The organization also provides crisis management and aftercare services to help youth and their families heal and rebuild their lives.
“We will work as hard as we can, for as long as we can, to help find as many missing and vulnerable children as we can.”

NEEDS A COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO HELP FIND MISSING CHILDREN, AND IDENTIFY THOSE VULNERABLE TO EXPLOITATION
In Africa, members of the Maasai tribe do not ask “How are you?” when they greet each other. Instead, they say “Casserian engeri?” which translates to “How are the children?” They believe that monitoring the well-being of their children is the best way to determine the future health and prosperity of their whole society. At Special Operations, our priority is to protect children and to work towards a society that prioritizes the safety and well-being of its most precious citizens.
WE WANT A SOCIETY WHERE ALL CHILDREN ARE SAFE.
WE WANT A SOCIETY WHERE THE COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN IS ERADICATED BECAUSE
