Bringing a missing child home is only the beginning. Without the right support, too many kids run again—right back into the dangers they were trying to escape. That’s why NCPTF goes beyond the search.

We work alongside law enforcement and child protection professionals in local communities to uncover why children go missing and address the circumstances that leave kids vulnerable to trafficking, exploitation, and repeat disappearances. Because finding them isn’t enough. Kids deserve a future where they can thrive.
