Boys are also at risk for sex trafficking
15-year-old Kevin went missing from the Bay Area. His mother asked Finding Kids for help, and we immediately deployed a team of private investigators who interviewed Kevin’s friends and family.
We tracked several leads simultaneously and located Kevin with a suspect in Los Angeles just days later. Law enforcement has requested documentation of our work, believing that prosecution is appropriate. After locating Kevin, our private investigators drove with him to his new home to ensure his safety.
This is another instance where adults targeted and groomed a child without the knowledge of a vigilant family.
Today, predators can reach vulnerable children through phones, social media, gaming platforms, and the internet, often before families realize something is wrong. Finding Kids responds through three core programs: Recover. Care. Target. We help locate missing and exploited children, support families during and after recovery, and work with law enforcement to identify and disrupt those who exploit youth. Our work continues after a child is found because recovery is only the beginning. By combining investigations, aftercare, and prevention, we help children return safely to their homes, schools, and communities while building a future where every vulnerable child receives help before crisis becomes exploitation. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes directly towards keeping kids safe. We cannot do this work without your support.
