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: Should the information be stored in a central database?

Nancy McBride: The National Center does not recommend that the information be stored by anybody but the parent or guardian. We do not know what happens to the database information, who is controlling it, what happens to it when a child reaches the age of 18. So, in order to safeguard the privacy of the child, only the parent or guardian should keep the information. The best place to keep it is in a place where you store other important documents or papers, certainly not a safe deposit box because if you needed it quickly, you would not be able to access it after hours or on a weekend. So, keep it in a safe place where you know where it is, where you can get to it quickly, should you need it.
