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: What is some advice for parents and children to stay safer during the summer?
Nancy McBride: I think the best advice to parents or children to stay safer during the summer months is to really communicate and talk to each other and set the guidelines out about where kids can go, what they can do, who needs to be supervising them during these activities, if they are allowed to go to places like parks, who needs to go with them. Talk about bodies of water in the community, whether it is a lake or a pool, make sure kids know they need to be supervised before they go to these different areas and that there is somebody around with them, who could help them if they were ever in trouble and I think the other most important thing to talk to your kids about is if anybody should approach them while they are playing in their yard, while they are walking with their friends somewhere, that the child knows not to respond to that person and to get away from that person as quickly as possible and speak to their parent or guardian about the fact that they were approached.
So, during the summer is a good opportunity to remind everybody to stay alert, stay aware and it is probably a good idea to talk about venues like amusement parks, or public areas where large groups of people might be. This is a good time to go over the rules with your kids about staying together in the park or the amusement area and making sure if your kids are allowed to go on rides or allowed to do something in the park, that you set rules for them about what that is going to be like, when they can do it and how long they are able to do it and make sure you have got a place for everybody to meet back together and a time, so that nobody is lost and nobody is confused about where we are going to meet and how long we can stay there.

Being upside down is just plain fun for kids. So it's natural that they will like to exercise upside down! Most of the time they are having too much fun to even know they are exercising!
With an extensive background in children's fitness, Margie used these exercises to provide her own children, and now her grandchildren, as well as more than 20,000 young exercisers over the past 35 years, the opportunity to become fine athletic specimens -- healthy, yet safe exercises to promote overall fitness.
