AI Summary
This resolution declares May 25, 2025, as National Missing Children's Day, marking the 42nd anniversary of the first such observance, which was originally established by the U.S. Department of Justice in memory of Etan Patz, a six-year-old who was abducted in 1979. The resolution highlights significant statistics about missing children, including that in 2023, the California Department of Justice reported over 66,000 missing children in the state, and the FBI reported nearly 360,000 nationwide. It also draws attention to disproportionate impacts on Black and Native American children, who are more likely to be victims of child abduction. The resolution calls for state agencies, law enforcement, local governments, schools, and community organizations to participate in educating both minors and adults about preventing child abduction, responding to personal safety threats, and connecting victims with available resources. Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the work of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and highlights the significant increase in online enticement of minors and the potential link between missing children and sex trafficking.
