The pulse

Happening Now

This is the developing side of the record. Items here are tied to identified sources and may change as agencies publish updates. Being CURRENT does not make a number part of CHILDREN FOUND.

ACTIVE SEARCH an identified search is underway AMBER ALERT an identified alert is active DEVELOPING reporting is still changing AGENCY UPDATE a responsible agency has published new information RESOLVED the live item has reached a reported resolution CORRECTED material information has been revised

NO CURRENT ITEM PUBLISHED

No developing story is published right now.

We monitor selected authoritative and high-quality reporting sources for missing-child searches, recoveries, alerts, and agency updates. Discovery creates a research candidate; a person reviews the evidence before anything appears here.

An empty CURRENT page means exactly that: we do not have a developing item ready to publish. It does not mean no searches or recoveries are happening.

Two different standards

Reported now. Counted only after verification.

CURRENT can preserve timely, source-attributed information while facts are still developing. CHILDREN FOUND uses the higher standard: verified record, exact count, primary outcome, and counter eligibility.
