Good detective work and surveillance can save lives
Brianna 17, went to a local high school one morning and did not return home. Our investigative team interviewed her parents, witnesses and confidential informants. They conducted surveillance operations over six days, during which time they spotted her with the suspect at a mobile home park. We determined trafficking was likely; we contacted the suspect and associates to deliver the message that Brianna must be returned immediately. She was returned in less than 24 hours after that call was made and is now home with her 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.
