Real-Time search for Missing and Runaway Teens
Runawayteens.org does not distinguish between teenagers that have run away and those that are considered missing. We believe they are all in danger if their parents or proper authorities do not know their whereabouts, especially after 24 hours has elapsed.

By clicking here you can access our map page. Clicking on any state will activate a real-time search of the NCMEC database for all missing children in that state regardless of age.

To report your child/teenager missing;
First if your child is under 18, they do NOT have to be missing for 24 hours before they are considered missing. Call the police immediately and INSIST they file a missing child/person report even if they tell you it is not necessary. Again INSIST your child be entered into the NCIC right away. Below you will see the circumstances where it is required of police to report cases to the NCIC. After you have filed the police report, you can call us at 786-317-8774 or email us by clicking here for more information.

If your child is 12 or under the law states a Detective must be assigned to the case and the case must be reported to the NCIC within 2 hours. Insist on those rights if necessary.
