| description | The phenomenon of missing children is a serious growing concern worldwide, with alarming numbers reported in recent years. The lack of a universally common definition and response to this problem has resulted in inaccurate statistics, with a large number of cases going unreported or under-recognized. Numerous reported cases are successfully resolved, while, regrettably, others have dramatic outcomes and, unfortunately, still others remain unsolved. Identifying the psychological and social factors that contribute to the phenomenon of missing children is crucial for both intervention and prevention efforts. This article emphasizes the need for a comprehensive understanding of the psychological and social factors contributing to the phenomenon of missing children to aid in effective early intervention and prevention. |
