Foreword
On January 23, 2003, our daughter (and another female patient) escaped from a locked psychiatric hospital. With help from police, family, friends, media, missing children organizations, and strangers we spent three long weeks distributing more than 15,000 flyers, and promoting media attention to “get their faces out there.” The hard work and dedication of so many brought a happy ending to our ordeal. It is our hope that no family ever needs to live the nightmare we endured. This is not the end however. We are currently living through the aftermath and taking notes as we go. Supports need to be put in place. That’s our next goal. This handbook is for the others that will someday unfortunately be walking the path we just left.
Acknowledgements
Finding our daughter and creating this booklet would not have been achievable without the help of so many individuals and organizations. We owe a debt of gratitude to so many, it is not possible to include every name. But those who stand out in the crowd are our families, who supported us throughout the ordeal; most especially Nikki and Joe, Chris and Lois, Maureen and Gil who drove hundreds of miles in the search.
Andrea Watson from Parents for Residential Reform, without whose help we would never have been able to generate the media attention, not to mention handling the barrage of media in the aftermath. Cheryl Nardelli logged hundreds of hours on the Internet; what a “surfer.” We thank Trooper Keith Pantazelos of the Massachusetts State Police for his dedication to the case and understanding of family commitment. The hundreds of people who helped distribute flyers.
Our thanks to those who prayed then and still pray today for our family. Our gratitude to the people we met along the way during our search. They showed us that there is so much goodness in people and that they really do care. We give thanks to God for you and for all those who touched our life during this most frightening three weeks.
But most especially we owe our thanks to the alert individual who did exactly what we wanted. She saw the flyer, recognized the missing girls, notified the police, and essentially saved the life of our child.
Introduction
There are four different situations under which missing children fall. They are lost, abducted, throwaways or have runaway. This book deals with runaways but some of its resources are applicable in all situations. One in seven children runaway; 75% are girls. The average age is 14-18 y/o, some as young as age ten.
The Biggest mistake that we as parents/ guardians can possibly make is to think for one second that, “this won’t happen to my family.” The second biggest mistake is to not be prepared for such a potential tragedy.
Most runaways are from ordinary, average middle class families. However, every family is at risk, no matter what monetary class you may fit into.
Once any child runs away, chances are they WILL fall victim to drug and alcohol abuse and exploitation. They fall victim to these life-threatening situations through the people they meet. Be very aware that there are people out there very willing to exploit and expose ANY child they feel or know is a runaway to drugs, alcohol, and sexual exploitation.
Because runaways need money to support new habits, the exploitation and prostitution option can easily overtake them. If the child is unfortunate enough to be recruited by a pimp it may not be possible for them to escape alive.
Some children will end up coming home on their own, but some do not and remain on the streets. Of these some do survive but tragically some are killed; others die from drugs, or disease. Be very aware there is a market for your child. Yes, it is unpleasant to think about, but there are many people just waiting for your child to “come to market.”
Special Note: Any child with special needs is at an increased risk of falling prey to these people and situations. They may not be able to make sound safe choices about the people they meet or to safely control situations to which they are exposed.
Major Causes, Warning Signs
Causes or “Why Would My Child Run?”
• To avoid an emotional situation
• To escape from an unpleasant or difficult time
• To escape the loss of privileges
• To be with people they “think” are supportive
• To get away from problems they feel they can’t cope with
• Feelings of being a burden on the family
• Has peers that have run away
• Wants to help a peer who wants to run
Note: This list is not complete. Many more issues from low self-esteem to abuse are some additional causes
Warning Signs
• A word of caution if your child has a network of unsupervised peers with access to drugs or antisocial tendencies. Know your child’s friends.
• Increase in irrational behavior, impulsivity, emotionally abusive, threatens to run.
• Take notice if any of your child’s peers have run away previously
• High sustained anxiety level
Watch for radical changes in your child’s attitude, and peer groups
Threatens to runaway; this is no joke, take it very seriously
Prevention
• Never call your child names
• Be honest. Do you understand what he/she is feeling? If not, ask him/her to explain
• It is important you understand your child, and okay if you don’t agree
• Keep the lines of communication open
• Really listen to what your teen is saying
• If you get overwhelmed during an argument tell your teen that you need time to get yourself together
• When your teen isn’t talking, ask him/her, “Do you feel you need to tell me anything else?”
• Even when your teen starts raising his/her voice, don’t raise yours, and stay calm (This takes lots of practice and patience).
• Never interrupt your teen when he/she is talking or trying to explain his/her feelings (again, easier said than done).
• Invest in a computer-monitoring program and tell your teen he/she will be monitored for their safety.
• Know who, what, where, and when. It’s not just for drugs. And check out all the facts. Be vigilant in attaining this information, check in on them where ever they say they are
• Talk to all your teens peers and their parents
• Know your child. Is he/she a leader or a follower
Before your Child Becomes Missing
Yes. Your Search starts BEFORE your child is missing!
The following information helped us so much to expedite the creation of flyers in order to get our child’s face “out there.” A few things we had to learn as we went. A major slow up was getting copies of her school picture. Since it is copyrighted, an official camera store would not let us make copies of the picture. This is vital to a case of missing child. We were lucky that a friend worked at a store where they have a Photo Maker. We pled our case and they let us make the copies. We made eight copies, which is plenty. Had we known this would be a problem, we would have already had a scanned picture of her on our computer.
If you don’t have a computer, get one and learn how to use it now. Make sure your computer has Internet capability and make sure you know how to fax and send emails with an attachment.
Own a digital camera with the ability to view and print pictures from your computer. Know how to use it before you ever have an emergency. Take pictures of your child regularly, to have them on hand in the event of an emergency.
A computer scanner is handy, each year after you get your child’s school photo, scan it into your computer, and then delete last year’s picture. This is vital. Missing child organizations say the best photo to use is a school photo.
If you already have a computer and your child uses it to access the Internet, a monitoring program is absolutely vital. We use a program called Big Brother; it records ALL activity on your computer. Warn your child that you are monitoring the use of the computer. Print out and save any disturbing actions in a locked file or safe, especially ALL phone numbers and addresses.
The Goal is to BE PREPARED
Have a recent photo of your child (preferably already on your computer) and prepare a missing persons flyer in .pdf format (cannot be altered and e-mail’s faster). Include height, weight, hair and eye color, clothes wearing when last seen, where last seen, any identifying features (glasses, braces, birthmarks, etc.)
Know all your child’s friends’ addresses phone numbers and screen names.
Know who, what, where, when and how. It isn’t only about drugs it’s about YOUR child and their safety.
• Who are they with
• What are they doing exactly
• Where are they going
• When will they return home
• How can you get in touch with them at a moments notice
• Watch for changes in peer groups
• Know your child’s tendencies
• Enroll your child in the CHIP program. To learn more contact the Safety Officer at your local police department or go to the following website: . This is a program run by the Masons and it is free and helpful. This program is mostly for children who get lost, but it could also aid in identifying your child if the worst situation presented itself.
The Situation: Your Child is Missing
First Contacts
• State Police Barracks covering the town from where your child is missing
• The detective unit of your town police. They can be very helpful. They can help sift through any papers, notes, or phone numbers your child may have left behind.
• Center for Missing & Exploited Children 1-800-690-FIND
• Operation Lookout –Missing children organization
• The above contacts will instruct you on the next steps they will take. Your next step is to physically get your flyers out as fast as possible. As in advertising, you need to get your child’s face out to the public. The more flyers you distribute, the more your child’s face will be seen. All it takes is one flyer for your child to be spotted. But which flyer is it? Is it the one you haven’t yet printed? We contacted our church and friends and enlisted more than 100 people to flood a target area with the flyers.
• Make a flyer in .pdf (cannot be altered) format. Your .pdf format flyer should be faxed or emailed to the above and the following organizations found throughout this booklet. Email to your friends and ask them to forward it. Include a cover letter explaining the seriousness of the situation, what you are requesting of them. Make sure you include the police contact person with their phone number. DO NOT put your own phone number on the flyer.
• Contact the newspaper and television stations in your area. Enlist them to get your child’s face “out there” as much as possible. Call them every other day to continue their efforts.
• This is a search site for law enforcement agencies for the United States by state and also worldwide.
• mailto:WebMaster@USE.
Salvation Army- Northeast Division (or whichever division area you want to cover). They can e-mail your flyer to all their locations and their email list server
• Mass Transit Police, all area bus and train terminals.
• Help for families of missing children
• Child safety information
• Fax/ email all your friends and instruct them to forward it on to as many people and businesses possible. Many companies will get involved making copies and putting flyers out on their own.
• (Be patient, takes time to load) If you have a friend with computer expertise set him or her to work from this site. With a few keystrokes, one can locate & e-mail Exxon & Mobil gas stations throughout the United States. Most of these gas stations have convenience stores; a prime location to post flyers. Attach a cover letter. Include dates, names, and police contacts for verification. Ask the location operator to keep an eye out for your child, post the flyer, or even better, show the flyer to their customers. The cover letter should come from the parents of the missing child with the flyer as an attachment. Do not give out your home number. Stress the gravity of the situation. All missing children cases are serious, whether they ran or were abducted. Once your child is “out there” the probability of abduction is high.
• Commissioner of the Department of Education in target state(s). This is vital. They can forward your cover letter & flyer to every school superintendent in your target state. Have them send the letter with the flyer to the school principals to get to the teachers. Situation can be explained to students who may see your child. Kids often meet up with mainstream kids and form friendships. North Carolina DOE

Recommendations for an Area Search
• Get a map of the area
• Search the area, start at the last known location and post flyers in stores
• Expand your search in ever widening circles
• Contact bordering States immediately i.e.… State police, etc.
• Identify actions your child may take, such as
- Will they hitch hike
- Color their hair
- Do they favor certain stores
- Anything that distinguishes your child
Bring your flyer to as many copy stores as possible. Most will make multiple free copies in this instance.
• Malls are a very likely location where your child may be. It’s warm, dry, with lots of other teens. Email your flyer to the security office all malls in your target area
Locate all transportation services in the area to include taxi services, water shuttles, bus lines, train lines, etc Get e-mail address or fax number and send copy of flyer with letter.
Locate and retain all police e-mail addresses and fax numbers. This can be done through a search on computer. Very time consuming, but very important piece. Enlist friends.
Prepare a press release to be e-mailed to all TV networks
Locate all newspaper telephone numbers to their City Desk, or News Desk Depts.
Locate all teen shelters in the area and ask for their fax numbers. Fax your flyer
Call all your friends to enlist their help in distributing flyers either by hand, e-mail, or fax
Keep a pad of paper by every phone and with you at all times
The Effects
The sudden disappearance of any child for any reason is a loss with far ranging effects. It affects the entire family, immediate and extended. No one in the family is spared. But it does not end there. Your child’s peers, their families, teachers, etc. are all affected. The list goes on. The feelings can range from anxiety, fear, sadness, anger, guilt. You need support wherever you can find it; your church, friends, whatever works for you at the time. We can only tell you from our experience that your feelings can overtake you at any time. Sometimes the emotions will be manageable, other times they will be beyond control. Sleepless nights, loss of appetite, and other symptoms will compound the difficulty. You can only try as best you can to stay healthy and focused. Your child will need your support when they are recovered.
This is the hardest part. Not knowing what is happening to your child. There may be times when there are many leads, then periods where there are no leads for days (or even weeks). It is imperative to push the media for continued coverage to keep your child’s face in the public eye. Your child needs you to stay strong and to fight for their return.

The Recovery
We all hope for a successful recovery. Sometimes this will happen other times sadly it won’t. When you finally recover your child it is so important that you show them love, and concern for their well being, not anger, fear, or hatred. If you show any negitive emotions it can cause your child to feel as though they are unwanted, unloved, and worthless.
You will be flooded with a wide range of emotions, but it is essential to remember that your child has been traumatized and needs you to show them love support and compassion.
It is imperative to get your child medical attention as soon as possible after the recovery. Do not wait days take them directly to the hospital for a thorough physical and evaluation.
During the evaluation it is important to bring them a change of clothes. Place the clothes (including under clothes) your child was last wearing in a paper bag (not plastic). The police may need them to recover evidence.
The Aftermath
The entire family needs to process their experience to start the healing process and rebuild the family. Be prepared for any horrors your child may have been through and be supportive. Therapy; both individual and family, is probably the best advice that we can offer. We can only hope that this will help others heal after their ordeal; maybe not with words of wisdom, but with guidance towards a direction for healing. Therapy is vital for your child to process feelings and experiences that they had during their episode, and to allow them to see the truth about what has taken place.
It’s so important to remember your child may not be forthcoming with information. It may take years of intensive therapy to come to terms with what they went through. The trick, on your part, is patience. You may never know everything that took place.
Personally (Bob speaking), my greatest struggle is the guilt of not being able to prevent this from happening to my daughter and to my family. The visions that followed me every day during our search still creep into my mind. I am told my guilt is self-imposed. I still try to heal, and pray that someday my family’s life will return to normal.
Now, as I fight my personal battles to persevere, my duty as a dad is to care for my wife and daughter, and to keep this family together. I have one other duty as a member of the human race — to try to help other families by passing on the lessons we so harshly learned.
Never let a day go by without telling your child
what they mean to you.
To My Daughter
You are life’s most precious gift,
I see the promises of tomorrow
in the twinkle of your eyes.
You are a gift to be loved.
You are the pride of my life,
the joy of my heart.
You are my daughter!
