Good news came from Hawkins County that they had found missing six-year-old, Sarah Murrell, and her puppy in the woods. They are doing fine.
Meredith and I are fans of the show Without a Trace. Every episode highlights a "true" missing person...and I've found recently that CBS Early Show has been going into the story of the person, the next morning.
It just caused me to think...I pray that your family NEVER has to experience this...but if your child were to go missing, some recommendations are to
STAY CALM. Contact neighbours, friends, your husband, siblings and anyone who may know where your child may be. Invite a friend with a "calm" to be with you.
Have friends and relatives conduct a basic land search of the neighbourhood area.
Places to check:
Your home and property, including the attic for well hidden children.
-Do not disturb or move anything in your child's room until police have checked it.
Home of your child's friends, neighbours, and relatives
Past and present baby-sisters
School and school yard
Community center
Park or play areas
Shopping centers and convenience stores
Video game arcades.
Contact the police and provide them with the information they need. Photographs, etc...
Act quickly. This is very important. Though it is hard...try to keep focused on the task at hand, that is locating your child.
