International Missing Children's Day
, 25 May, is a day where people around the world commemorate the missing children who have found their way home, remember those who have been victims of crime, and continue efforts to find those who are still missing.
The main purpose of International Missing Children's Day is to encourage everyone to think about children who remain missing and to spread a message of hope.
Australia, Canada, Brazil, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Romania, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom, member countries the Global Missing Children's Network, have joined to raise awareness of the impact and issue surrounding missing children and to help bring them home by spreading a global message.
The theme for International Missing Children's Day 2010 is parental child abduction, an issue that is not only complex but is becoming more common.
