MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #11081
BY: Commissioner Janet Jackson, District 21
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS — DECLARATION OF MAY 25, 2011 AS NATIONAL
MISSING CHILD DAY IN OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Whereas, according to the U.S. Department of Justice, in one year there were nearly 800,000
children missing; and
Whereas, on average, there is an estimated average of 2,200 children reported missing to law
enforcement agencies daily; and
Whereas, 58,200 of these children are victims of non-family abductions, and more than 200,000
are the victims of family abductions; and
Whereas, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC) exists as a resource
to help prevent child abduction and sexual exploitation, help find missing children, and assist
victims of child abduction and sexual exploitation, their families, and the professionals who
serve them. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's recovery rate has grown
from 62% in 1990 to 96% of domestically missing children, but too many children still remain
among the missing; and
Whereas, this special day is a time to remember those children who are missing and give hope
to their families.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT in partnership with the National Center for
Missing & Exploited Children and its collaborative organizations, the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby proclaims May 25 as National Missing Children's Day in Oakland
County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the
participation of local government, law enforcement, schools, community-based organizations,
and families in the protection and education of all individuals about child abduction and sexual
exploitation, appropriate protective measures, and ways to respond and seek help from law
enforcement, social services, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages all
individuals to take 25 minutes to help children stay safer.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes
May 25, 2011 as being set aside as National Missing Children's Day as part of Oakland County,
Michigan's continuing efforts to prevent the abduction and sexual exploitation of children.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to forward copies of
this adopted resolution to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), the
National Association of Counties (NACo) and the Michigan Association of Counties (MAC).
Chairperson, we move the adoptio
