The shocking reality

Since official statistics were launched in 1994 there have been over 1 000 children reported missing in South Africa that were never recovered – that’s  a whole school missing without a trace.

About 1 200 children are reported missing each year in our country, with more than 90% being found within the first week. This unfortunately still leaves us with at least 10% of the children not being traced.

This figure is regarded as conservative.

According to a US Government report, there are 800 000 people trafficked across international borders annually. This figure does not include those trafficked within their own countries (US Government 2006).

There is an increasing demand for trafficked children for use as cheap labour and sexual exploitation.

It can happen to your child!!!!
