 OPERATION
LOOKOUT® National Center for Missing
Youth is an award winning, multifaceted,
and fully computerized international
child-search assistance center serving
families with investigative casework
for any geography of origin. We are
a Founding and Charter Member of AMECO
- Association for Missing & Exploited
Children's Organizations, a cooperative
national and international association
developed to enhance credibility and
quality assurance for its member organizations.
Whilst we network
with other accredited and reputable
non-profit organizations throughout
the United States, Canada and other
countries, we are recognized as a mutual
resource and referral center leader
by Law Enforcement, AMECO, the National
Center For Missing & Exploited Children,
youth and crisis referral services,
media, and private practitioners.
At OPERATION LOOKOUT®
our mission is straightforward. It is
to provide services to families with
missing or abducted children and to
recognize one of the most IMPORTANT
responsibilities in life - To protect
the innocents. Our first priority and
final objective is to secure a positive
reunion of the children with their loved
ones.
Whether the children
are missing, abducted, or runaway kids
society has callously abandoned, Jane
Doe or John Doe, victim-searching families,
or for the forensic investigators, there
is a place to turn to for help. Our
services are always provided FREE-OF-CHARGE
regardless of the expense or duration
of the case, and may include computerized
search, national and international networking,
investigative casework, search assistance,
poster and picture design and distribution,
victim support, court advocacy, law
enforcement coordination, reunification
planning, legal and social service referrals,
hope, encouragement, and emotional support.
We insist it is imperative
to remember that "Every Missing Child
Deserves the Chance to be FOUND" and
nothing is more important than to protect
"our" children from all types of predators.
No child deserves to live with one.
No child expects to be lured by one,
yet daily, young lives are changed forever
because of exploitation and abduction:
Familial or not, the abusers and the
very worst abuses that destroy a child's
soul, need to be put where they belong
- off the streets, out of our homes
and neighborhoods, and behind bars.
We urge the nation
to join us in adopting the battle cry,
“NOT WITH MY CHILD” – You don’t, and
to take an active stand towards this
heartbreaking tragedy by supporting
us in our goal of providing assistance
in locating at least 1,500 more missing
children this year by "touching another
million HEARTS for missing kids because
every missing child deserves the chance
to be FOUND." We ask, is there a more
noble cause than this?

According
to the U.S. Dept. of Justice, an average of
2,185 children are reported missing to law-enforcement
agencies daily. While many of these stories
have happy endings, others do not. Each child
is precious and each one lost is a tragedy beyond
description for their loved ones.
