Missing children

Filed under: by: jen

A report that 21 young people are officially on the record book of law-enforcement agencies in Collier and Lee counties as missing came as a shock.

Memorial Day also was National Missing Children’s Day. With the story were photos of 18 of the 21 faces. They range in age from infants, such as Bryan Dos Santos-Gomez, the Baby Bryan who made headlines by being reported abducted by a knife-wielding stranger before Christmas 2006 in Fort Myers, to 6-year-old Adji Desir, who disappeared in Immokalee in January, to Wendy Hudakoc, who snuck out of the house for a party before Thanksgiving 1998 at the age of 14 and was never seen again.

Some cases may have been preventable. All had bad people involved. Some may still be solved — and law-enforcement agencies can be assured of whole-hearted public support in their often frustrating work.

The three photos missing from the printed lineup belong to children from Immokalee. There were no pictures to help authorities and concerned citizens locate them. Every family needs to have pictures for such eventualities, as painful as that possibility may be. When photomaking or fingerprinting events like the one at Coast land Center last month are held,please be there.

The community, whether that means Southwest Florida or the whole state, or the nation and world, also can use a more uniformed, systematic approach to public notification of a missing child. We have to make sure we do everything we can. Citizens are eager to help if they know who to look for and what to do.

Locally, we can work to make sure Southwest Florida does not get a reputation as a safe haven for predators. We cannot let the memories of our most precious resource stolen from our midst grow fuzzy over time. We have to keep that in focus.

Stay Safe at the Amusement Park

Filed under: by: jen

It's difficult to find a more enjoyable activity for children than a day at the amusement park.To help keep it that way,

Watch as much of the ride as possible before deciding whether it's safe for your child. Don't ase your decision solely on

the ride's signs and height limits.

Never let your child go on a ride if the child's age, height, weight or health problems suggest the ride isn't suitable for the child.

Never allow children to go on a ride that frightens them.

Make sure you use safety belts and lap bars, and make sure your child knows to stay seated at all times.

Make sure that your child sits on the safest part of the ride (follow loading instructions) and that the child's hands, feet and head stay inside the seat or car.

Tell your child what to do in case he or she is lost or separated from you. On arrival at the park, point out uniformed park employees and tell the children to seek them out for help.

Follow your instinct about what's safe for your child.

But neither you nor your children should be naive.

It is estimated that as many as 300,000 American children are working as prostitutes in the U.S.A. (The Human Trafficking Report Newsletter, KlaasKids Foundation)

Every year in America, 200,000 children are abducted by family members, and 58,000 are abducted by non-family members. The primary motive for non-family abductions is sexual. Thankfully, most of those children are quickly and safely returned home. Those that are not are often the victims of the most serious abductions, taken by non-family members and either murdered, held for ransom, or taken with the intent to keep or traffick. Thousands of teenagers run away from home each year, in most cases, because of abusive family situations. Within 48 hours of hitting the streets, one-third of these children are lured or recruited into the underground world of prostitution or pornography. Sadly, some children run away from good homes not knowing the danger that awaits them.
