European hotline number reserved by the European Commission for missing
children. Through this number, parents
faced with a missing child in their country or in another European country,
will increasingly have access to the life saving support they need, as the
number is connected to the national organisation, specialised in dealing with these cases. As research shows
the first hours after the disappearance of a child are of vital importance.
Therefore having such "an easy to remember" telephone number at the
disposal of parents across Europe is extremely important for an immediate
action of the responsible local authorities. The number is
currently operational in the following European countries: Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Spain, United Kingdom |
