How can parents use the Beyond Missing website?

Well as a parent you can use Beyond Missing, because that's one of the things we did. The vast majority of missing child case are initially considered runaway cases, which gives law enforcement an ability to opt out of an investigation. We know that there's a lot of frustration over that. So what we've done is we've created a parent flyer tool. Any parent can log on to the internet, on to Beyond Missing, and use those very same tools, upload a picture, fill out form fields, and create a very professional missing child flyer. They can then save that flyer as a pdf, it's a certain kind of computer file, and they can then create a distribution list, generally through Googling or build a list of their own, however they want to do it. of entities that might be able to use that file, media outlets, teen shelters, homeless shelters, really anywhere in the country. Then send that flyer that they've created themselves off to those entities. It's a way to really get involved in the recovery of your own child. It's really an evolution beyond sitting by the phone, as we were told to do, waiting for the ransom call to come in.
