Missing Children's Day

Both National Missing Children's Day and International Missing Children's Day are observed on May 25 each year as a reminder for raising awareness about the issue of child abduction, missing children and child exploitation. Since 2000, LexisNexis® Risk Solutions has partnered with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC) to support the ADAM™ Program to help locate missing children as quickly as possible.

Anyone can take part in honoring this day by helping in the recovery efforts of missing children. Search and share a missing child's poster using the ADAM Program Interactive Missing Children Dashboard, sign up for missing child alerts in your area in the U.S., and stay informed with free educational materials for all ages available from the NCMEC website to learn more on keeping children safe.
