Calls for effective system to trace missing children

Czech experts in child care have urged the creation of an effective system to trace missing and abducted children. Prague is currently hosting a meeting of the European Federation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children and the head of the Our Child Foundation Zuzana Baudyšova said Prague should use the opportunity to put some of its conclusions into practice. She has called for a national network of missing child centers which would cooperate closely with the media in order to alert the public about missing and abducted children as soon as possible. Timely action, she said, could save lives.
