The "Child Abduction Flag" is a mechanism that has been added to missing person entries to facilitate automatic notification to the FBI's National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crimes (NCAVC) and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Use of this automatic alert system may save valuable time in the crucial first 48 hours after a child is abducted. According to the FBI 76% of abducted children are dead within 3 hours. This is very IMPORTANT. If your child is missing, contact law enforcement immediately. Federal law requires law enforcement to enter information about a missing child into the NCIC within 2 hours of receiving a missing child report. It's YOUR responsiblity to see that it's done. YOU as a parent must request and make sure that your child's name and other identifying information is entered into the "National Crime Information Center" (NCIC) missing person file.

My family and I have never heard of it and we feel we stay on top of this ugly issue. Also Daryl, if a family does not meet the strict criteria of the AMBER Alert, what does one do? We all know that most kids are in the most critical arms of danger the very first hour of an abduction. What is the Child Abduction flag?
