Missing Kids

President Ronald Reagan first proclaimed May 25 to be National Missing Children's Day in 1983. It has been recognized as such every year since.

National Missing Children's Day is dedicated to help remind parents, guardians, and other trusted caregivers and adult role models to make child safety and well-being a priority. It can be used to show appreciation for those who dedicate themselves to finding and safely bringing home those who may be missing. It serves as an annual reminder to the nation to continue efforts aimed at reuniting missing children with their families.
