Annotation
Designed to enhance the coordination of the delivery of Federal services to missing and exploited children and their families, this directory is a compilation of the many Federal services, programs, publications, and training that address issues of child sexual exploitation, child pornography, child abductions, and missing children cases.
Abstract
The directory contains information on the resources, technical assistance and support, and services that are available during the investigation of cases that involve missing and exploited children. It describes the role of each agency of the Federal Agency Task Force for Missing and Exploited Children in the location and recovery of missing and exploited children, the types of services and support that are available, the procedures for accessing these services, and instructions for obtaining additional information. To make the information accessible, one section categorizes the type of assistance offered by each agency. In addition, telephone quick reference cards can be removed and kept where most needed; addresses and phone numbers are correct as of the date of publication. The information contained in this directory will help to expand the resources that are available, enhance services for children and their families, increase coordination of services for missing and exploited children and their families, and promote positive system change.
