Summary

According to the National Crime information Center, nearly 2200 children are reported missing every day. This almanac addresses the various statutes and programs established to protect and rescue children from predators. It also covers parental kidnapping in disputed custody cases, including international abduction. Also included are safety tips and an action plan for parents whose children are missing.

The Legal Almanac Series consists of over 75 handy guides for the lay person on all aspects of the law. Each volume includes an overview of the topic followed by chapters on the major issues in that subject. Each volume contains an Appendix containing several primary source documents as well as practical forms and checklists. A Glossary defines any technical terms used in the text.
