National Missing Children's Day May 25, 2008 May 25, 2008 will mark the 26th National Missing Children’s Day. First proclaimed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and observed by every administration since, May 25th is the anniversary of the day in 1979 when 6-year-old Etan Patz disappeared from a New York street corner on his way to school. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children marks the National Missing Children’s Day with the TAKE 25 program, which aims to heighten awareness of children's personal safety issues. With a focus on prevention, the campaign encourages parents, guardians, and other role models to spend time talking to kids to teach them ways to be safer. Join other IAAPA members in our effort to promote safety among our children. Visit www.take25.org to find ways to actively participate in the TAKE 25 program.
