If you are in a crisis situation, please call 911. 
  1. Assess for Immediate Danger: If the child is in immediate physical danger or there’s an ongoing threat (e.g., suicide risk from sextortion), call 911 or your local emergency services right away. For urgent emotional support, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 (available 24/7).
  2. Gather and Preserve Evidence: Before reporting, safely collect details without deleting anything—screenshots of messages, usernames, URLs, dates/times, and device info (put the device in airplane mode if needed to stop further sharing). Do not respond to the exploiter or pay demands, as this often escalates the situation.
  3. Report the Exploitation to NCMEC’s CyberTipline (Centralized Starting Point): This is the primary national hub for online child exploitation reports, including sextortion. Submit anonymously online at https://report.cybertip.org/ or call 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) (24/7). Provide as much evidence as possible; NCMEC will review, analyze, and forward to the appropriate law enforcement (often your local ICAC task force or FBI).
  4. Request Content Removal with Take It Down (If Images/Videos Are Involved): For nude, partially nude, or explicit content of minors (under 18), use NCMEC’s free service at https://takeitdown.ncmec.org/. Follow the on-screen steps to generate a “hash” (digital fingerprint) of the file on your device—no need to upload the actual image. This helps participating platforms detect and remove copies. It’s anonymous and quick.
  5. Report to the Platform Where It Happened: Notify the social media or app (e.g., TikTok, Instagram) directly via their in-app reporting tools to flag the content or account for removal. This can be faster for takedowns and may trigger their own reports to NCMEC.
  6. Contact Local Law Enforcement or ICAC Task Force for Investigation: If you want direct follow-up or the case needs local action, reach out to your area’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force—they handle most U.S. investigations. Find your local one by searching “ICAC task force [your state]” or visiting https://www.icactaskforce.org/ for contacts. You can also report to the FBI at tips.fbi.gov or call your local police non-emergency line. Note: NCMEC often routes here automatically.
  7. Seek Additional Support and Resources: For parent guides on sextortion prevention/recovery, check Thorn’s resources at https://www.thorn.org/sextortion/ (includes free downloads like safety tips). For human trafficking ties, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888. NCMEC’s Team HOPE offers peer support for families—call the hotline above. If needed, access mental health help via RAINN at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or their site https://www.rainn.org/
  • Report to Law Enforcement Right Away (Debunk the Wait Myth): Call your local police immediately—there’s no required waiting period (like 24 hours or 2 weeks), even for suspected runaways. Insist they enter your child into the FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Missing Person File and issue a Be On the Lookout (BOLO) bulletin. If they classify it as a runaway and seem reluctant, document everything and escalate to a supervisor or state missing children’s clearinghouse. This step is crucial, but if support is delayed, proceed with your own efforts.
  • Gather Critical Information and Search Immediately: Start by thoroughly searching your home, yard, and neighborhood—check hiding spots, under beds, in closets, and nearby areas where your child might be. Note the exact time and place they were last seen, what they were wearing, any distinctive features (scars, tattoos), and possible reasons for leaving (e.g., arguments, online contacts). Collect recent photos, fingerprints if available, medical/dental records, and device info (phone number, social media accounts). This empowers you to act fast and provides vital details for later sharing.
  • Contact Friends, Family, and Known Associates: Reach out to your child’s friends, classmates, teachers, relatives, and anyone they might have contacted or gone to (use phone calls, texts, or social media). Ask about recent conversations, plans, or unusual behavior—teens often confide in peers first. Check their devices (if accessible) for messages, apps, or location history without deleting anything, as this could reveal clues like online enticement or runaway intentions.
  • Alert NCMEC for Additional Resources: Call the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) (24/7) after reporting to police. They can provide guidance, help with poster creation/distribution, and coordinate with law enforcement—even if police are slow, NCMEC empowers parents with tools like free posters and search coordination. Download their family checklist at https://www.missingkids.org/content/dam/missingkids/pdfs/publications/nc198.pdf for more details.
  • Mobilize Community and Media Yourself: Create and distribute flyers with your child’s photo, description, and contact info—post on social media, community boards, and local spots (use templates from NCMEC). Share on platforms like Facebook, X (Twitter), or Nextdoor to spread the word quickly. If law enforcement won’t involve media, contact local news outlets yourself (call assignment editors) to publicize the case, as public tips often lead to recoveries. This step puts you in control of generating leads.
Remember, even for runaways, risks like exploitation are high, so persist with authorities. For more, check the full Family Survival Guide at https://blackandmissinginc.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/DOJ-When-Your-Child-is-Missing.pdf
