Upon Adam being found, both John and Reve grieved as any parents would. After the mourning was over with, which still lasts to this day as one looks upon John Walsh’s face as he speaks of Adam, they went onto co-found the Centers for Missing and Exploited Children. As many of us surf the Internet for information we must ask ourselves: Is this a site we often go to? Perhaps if we made it a habit to at least visit this site once a day or once a week we can help reunite these missing children with those who pine their return home safely; their family.
As cited on the Centers for Missing and Exploited Children: “If your child disappears in a store, notify the store manager or security office. Then immediately call your local law-enforcement agency. Many stores have a Code Adam plan of action— if a child is missing in the store, employees immediately mobilize to look for the missing child.” When a store mobilizes for Code Adam, they will lock down all the exits and entrances. If the store you frequently visit does not have this system in place, approach the manager of the store and ask: Why not? I think that every parent of a child should do so. We must be our children’s advocate.
If you are a parent, carry with you at ALL times a current picture of your child and make sure their dental visits are up-to-date. This way, dentists have on record their dental x-rays should the worst case scenario happen or to prove a child found dead is not your child.
