The Myth About Reporting Someone Missing
According to Child Find Of America, if someone you know goes missing then you should contact police immediately.
It is a myth you should wait 24 hours before contacting the police. In fact, it’s suggested that the 48 hours after someone has gone missing are the most important.
If someone you know goes missing — don’t wait. Contact police and let them know the situation.
