Snapshot of 2025

Snapshot of 2025

Since 2018 and throughout 2025, Finding Kids has provided around-the-clock analytical and investigative support. In just one case that collaboration stopped a dangerous predator. Three weeks ago, Abraham J. Lizaola was sentenced to 75 years to life in prison. Your support makes this work possible, helping ensure that when the next child goes missing, someone is ready to act.

Here is a closer look at our work in 2025:

– Missing children cases supported: 71
– Children safely located: 62
– Number of private investigation firms assigned: 20
– Law enforcement agencies partnered with: 32
– Traffickers identified and arrested: 11
– Hours of cyber intelligence and private investigations: 5444
– Families assigned a dedicated parent or youth coach: 44
– Hours of aftercare and crisis support provided to youth and families: 1815

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.
