The Federal Agency Task Force for Missing and Exploited Children
was created in 1995, by then Attorney General Janet Reno to
coordinate Federal resources and services to effectively address
the needs of missing, abducted, and exploited children and their
families. The mission of the Task Force is to (1) advocate for
missing and exploited children and their families, (2) initiate
positive change to enhance services and resources for missing and
exploited children, their families, and the agencies and
organizations that serve them, (3) promote communication and
cooperation among agencies and organizations at the Federal level,
and (4) serve as the focal point for coordination of services and
resources. The Task Force includes representatives from 16 Federal
agencies and 2 non-Federal agencies that work directly with cases
involving missing and exploited children and their families. The
term "missing child," as used in this Directory, refers to any
youth whose whereabouts are unknown to his or her legal guardian.
This includes children who have been abducted or kidnapped by a
family or a nonfamily member, a child who is a throw away, or a
child who is otherwise missing. The term "child exploitation"
refers to any youth under the age of 18 who has been exploited or
victimized for profit or personal advantage, which includes
children who are victims of pornography, prostitution, sexual
tourism, trafficking, and sexual abuse. These missing and exploited
cases include both national and international cases. First
published in 1996, the Federal Resources on Missing and Exploited
Children's Directory has become an effective resource that can be
used by agencies and organizations involved in the safe recovery of
missing children. The Directory contains the most up-to-date
information on and links to other agencies and organizations that
can help in finding a solution. The Directory is a compilation of
the many services, programs, publications, and training that
address issues of child sexual exploitation, child pornography,
child abduction, and missing children cases. It describes the role
of each Federal Task Force member agency in the location and
recovery of missing and exploited children, the types of services
and support that are available, the various methods for accessing
these services, and additional resources. This new edition of the
Directory has been redesigned to provide comprehensive, accessible
agency and organization information in a concise, user-friendly
format. It will be an indispensable tool for practitioners dealing
with the many challenges of returning children safely.
