The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s (NCMEC) mission is to help prevent child abduction and sexual exploitation; help find missing children; and assist victims of child abduction and sexual exploitation, their families, and the professionals who serve them.
NCMEC was established in 1984 as a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization to provide services nationwide for families and professionals in the prevention of abducted, endangered, and sexually exploited children. Pursuant to its mission and its congressional mandates (see 42 U.S.C. §§ 5771 et seq.; 42 U.S.C. § 11606; 22 C.F.R. § 94.6),
The NCMEC serves as a clearinghouse of information about missing and exploited children, operates a CyberTipline that the public may use to report Internet-related child sexual exploitation, provides technical assistance to individuals and law-enforcement agencies in the prevention, investigation, prosecution, and treatment of cases involving missing and exploited children, assists the U.S. Department of State in certain cases of international child abduction in accordance with the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, offers training programs to law-enforcement and social-service professionals, distributes photographs and descriptions of missing children worldwide, coordinates child-protection efforts with the private sector, networks with nonprofit service providers and state clearinghouses about missing-persons cases and provides information about effective state legislation to help ensure the protection of children.

Host: Is there anything parents can do to checkout the people who are supervising their child?
Nancy McBride: We talked about the fact that many times the perpetration is committed by somebody, the child or the family knows. Therefore it is important that parents and guardians do their due diligence and check out people who are in the supervisory role with their kids, whether that is softball coach or whether it is Boy Scout leader, whether it is the person in the After School program. We are so fortunate now to have tools that make it good and available for us to check people out.

One of the tools that parents and guardians can use is the National Sex Offender Public Registry which is nsopr.
gov, you can go there you can check out registered sex offenders in your community but you can also check out people who have access to your kids. You can see if they are on the registry, you could do your background on those folks and you can also ask other people, check out there references make sure that your part of whatever this activity is, so that person knows how committed you are to making sure your child is safer and listen to your kids.
If your kids come homes and says they do not want to go a certain place or they do not want to see a certain person, really investigate that, check it out to see if it is more than a personality issue, it may be your child s way of telling you, there s something going on that is making them feel uncomfortable they just can not come right out and let you know. So, doing a little probing, asking some questions making sure you are involved and using the tools you have available can help safe guard your children.
