A Child Is Missing (ACIM)
is a Fort Lauderdale-based non-profit organization
founded in 1997 and was created because no community-based
program existed for locating missing children, the disabled
and elderly often (with Alzheimer's) during the crucial
first hours of disappearance.
The Need
A child goes missing every
40 seconds in the United States. Your child has a 1 in
42 chance of going missing. We also address helping the
Elderly, Alzheimer's and the Disabled.
Mission
ACIM is devoted to assisting
law enforcement in the search and early safety
recovery efforts of children, the elderly (often with
Alzheimer's) and disabled persons and college students
via a rapid-response neighborhood alert program utilizing
satellite tracking and high-tech telephony systems.
