The Missing & Exploited Children’s Network is a nonprofit organization that empowers families with practical education to recognize warning signs, understand potential threats, and teach children how to identify and respond to danger. Through prevention-focused programs, awareness campaigns, case amplification, and advocacy, we work to expose abuse, disrupt criminal activity, and ensure those who harm children are held accountable. We partner with families, schools, and community organizations to strengthen prevention efforts, promote early intervention, and create safer environments where children can thrive—both online and offline. Protecting children requires informed families, engaged communities, and the courage to act before tragedy happens. Awareness alone is not enough; action saves lives. Together, we can stop abuse before it starts and act decisively when it does—because every child deserves safety, dignity, and a future free from harm. Prevention starts with awareness —and succeeds with action. @MissingandExploited Stand with us. Get informed. Get involved. Share . Support . Donate
