ICMEC/YouTube Missing Children Channel
Nearly 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United
States alone1. Thankfully the vast majority of these children
are recovered quickly. However, worldwide the problem is even larger.
That’s why the International Centre
for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), in partnership with
Google’s YouTube and The Find Madeleine Campaign, launched a
YouTube missing children’s channel.
The Internet channel— www.youtube.com/DontYouForgetAboutMe — shows
videos of missing children from around the world. It also features
safety and educational materials in several languages and messages from
dignitaries and soccer star David Beckham.
Anyone with information about a missing child featured on the website
should contact the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Submit a video or learn
more.
