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.

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 else can children do to enjoy Halloween without going door to door?
Nancy McBride: If a parent or guardian is a little bit concerned about kids going door to door for treats, check out your community; see what is going on as far as the organized event, whether it is at a mall or some sort of a community centre. Many times, they will organize an event where kids can come, have a good time, do different things besides just getting candy and the parent or guardian can supervise a little bit better because they are in an enclosed environment or you as the parent or guardian can setup a party yourself and invite people in your neighborhood to participate or be part of that or maybe do a group trick-or-treating setting right in the neighborhood. So, it is very close by and it is very supervised.
