Try to stay calm. You will be a better help if you have a clear mind.

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)

•  The place and time he has been seen for the last time, and if possible what he was doing there.

• Contact the police as soon as possible and help to investigate.

• 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.

• Do not forget, too, to ask FREDI's help

Third

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

              Stay calm, your are going to be more efficient if you do not get nervous.

              Work in team of at least to people.
