Visit :

• Play-grounds and any hiding-place in and arround the house, then in the neighbourhood.
• Look into cars, trucks eventually abandonned in the neighbourhoods.
• Check streams, pipe-lines, aso… Think that younger children have a smaller action beam than older ones.
• Check if the child is not at the neighbour's house, neighbourhood friends, family's friends or known people.
• Determinate if any clothing is missing or personal stuff that might indicate a run-away. Eventually, search a message he might have left.

Secondly

If you think your child is lost or has been kidnapped :

Remember that QUICKNESS of your reaction is the MOST IMPORTANT !!

Prepare the following informations

• a description of your child (last clothing, personal stuff that he/she had with him/her).
• Physical informations (age, height, weight, sex, hear'S- and eyes colour, specific details, as glasses or jewelery and any other dinstinctive sign).
• The place and time he has been seen for the last time, and if possible what he was doing there.
• The most recently picture you can find (It is one of the most important part !) · Contact the police as soon as possible and help to investigate.
• An accurate description of the places your child uses to go, the people he likes to meet, the buildings he goes in. Those facts are going to be really useful for the police in charge of your case.
• Do not forget to give to the police every detail your child's friends gave you. (unknown car, unknown people, aso...) Each detail can help to find your child.

Third

You should try to organize research with your neighbouring or friends.

• Stay calm, your are going to be more efficient if you do not get nervous.
• Go from a definate place and search with method by using a map of the place.
• Work in team of a least to people. If you find any clue , DO NOT TOUCH THEM : mark the place and go telling the police about what you have found.
