Recover Missing Children in Ohio
At the Committee for Missing Children, we provide a charitable resource for people who have had a child abducted. Most child kidnappings are committed by a parent, and our organization specializes in helping the left-behind parent fight for the safe return of their child, even when the child has been taken to another country. We are here to help you, and can provide guidance throughout the whole process.
How We Can Help
The main focus of our organization is to help reunite the left-behind parent with the child or children who have been kidnapped. Our teams help with many ongoing cases, and we can help in many different ways. We will be able to provide emotional support and guidance, and we may even be able to help cover some of the travel costs that will occur during your fight.
