BY: Commissioner Janet Jackson, District 21
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS — DECLARATION OF MAY 25, 2012 AS NATIONAL MISSING

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, 2012, 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 recognizes May 25,
2012, 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).
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
