International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children

The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children is an organization that helps find and protect children who are missing or at risk of being harmed. Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy and suddenly you can't find it. It makes you feel worried and sad because you can't play with it anymore. Now imagine someone takes you away from your family and friends and you can't come back home. That's what happens to some children around the world, and the International Centre is trying to help those kids.

The International Centre has grown-ups who work really hard to help find missing children and protect those who are at risk of harm. They do this by working with different people and organizations who want to make the world a safer place for children. They also use something called the internet to spread the word quickly about missing children so that more people can help look for them.

They also have a special phone number that people can call if they see a missing child or if they have information that might help find the child. The grown-ups at the International Centre work with law enforcement officials and other organizations to make sure that missing children are found and that they're safe when they're returned home.

The International Centre also teaches kids and grown-ups about safety so that they can help prevent children from being kidnapped or abused. They teach parents and teachers how to talk to kids about safety and what to do if they notice that a child might be in trouble.

In summary, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children is an organization that helps to find missing and at-risk children from around the world, while also educating people on safety and prevention of abductions or abuse.
