Today, May 25, is National Missing Children’s Day
On July 27, 1981, 6 year old Adam Walsh (Pictured above) was abducted from a Sears store in the Hollywood Mall, Florida. Adam’s severed head was found two weeks later in Vero Beach, Florida beginning a search that has haunted the Walsh family.
Wanting to make a difference, the family started the Adam Walsh Outreach Center for Missing Children four days after his funeral. Along with this foundation, the show American’s Most Wanted, hosted by John Walsh started in early 1988.
No parent wants to imagine their child being abducted, but it does happen. I urge everyone to look at the “Take 25″ – 25 Safety tips to keep children safer and share them with your children or someone’s children that you love.
