KEEPING KIDS SAFE FROM PREDATORS

In a world where exploiters prey on vulnerable children, Finding Kids is the only organization in the region dedicated to hiring boots-on-the-ground retired law enforcement and private investigators 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”

A PUBLIC-PRIVATE COLLABORATION

Between law enforcement and the community to recover youth and identify predators.
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.

Identify vulnerable and missing kids

Our organization was born from an unmet
need in our community: the need for boots-on-
the-ground forces to locate missing youth vulnerable to exploitation. Our investigators have the experience and expertise to find the victims and identify the perpetrators.

Recovery out of a risky and potentially dangerous situation

Our private investigators provide information to law enforcement so that the child can be recovered and bought to safety. 

Support youth and their families with support, guidance and coaching within a comprehensive aftercare model

Once a child is recovered, our parent and youth advocates provide direct support to meet basic and practical needs. Our team also coordinates within our network of other CBOs to assist in providing wrap-around services. When victims empowered to testify, traffickers go to prison. The result is a safer community for us all.

“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.”

LAW ENFORCEMENT

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 Finding Kids, 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 ERADICTED BECAUSE

JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED
