CHILD FIND ONTARIO will blitz Ontario and' Cahada _ during the month of May for
its Seventh Annual Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign: This campaign which also
incorporates :Missing Children's day' on May 25 recognize the serious . issue of
missing. children and`syrnbolizes ouir hope to bring them home and to beep them safe.
, + ,
In 1996 55.749 children, were listed as `missing' by the RCMP -These numbers include
runaways,\lost. missing and abducted children as well as those who have simply
`disappeared.' Approximately 20.000 (or 35%) of these. children originated from the
Province of Ontario:
"The issue of missing children is, a serious one. I think that most people would be
shocked to hear that on any given day approximately .1200 children in Canada are listed
as missing.' .'' notes Jackie, Cutmore. Executive .Director of CHILD FIND ONTARIO.
1 The abduction of 15 -year-old Kristen French on April 16. 199?. shocked the entire
country.. The Green Ribbon of Hope originated when 'students and teachers at Holy
Cross Secondary School in St. Catharines, Ontario, elected to wear a green ribbon in the
hope that Kristen would be returned. After Kristen's senseless and tragic death, the
students and faculty of her_school .dedicated the .Green. Ribbon;of Hope to CHILD FIND
as a symbol of hope_ to highlight the pligrn of abducted- and missing children
everywhere.
CHILD. FIND ONTARIO is a voluntary :charitable organization founded in 1983 and
officially incorporated in 1984 as a response to the serious problem of missing children.
It has established 20 chapters throughout the province with over 1200 volunteers
'CHILD FIND works with parents, law enforcement agencies. lawyers and government
agencies to look for missing children As well, CHILD FIND provides support for
parentsof missing children, produces and distributes flyers and posters of missing
children and operates a 24-hour toll-free telephone line tocollect tips and receive
reports on missing children.
.at CHILD FIND we believe that the problem of missing children has to be addressed
through prevention which translates into education. We offer seminars and workshops
on child safety and have developed a highly successful 'kidcheck' fingerprinting
program which now serves approximately 40,000 children a year. Last spring CHILD
FIND initiated an "All About Me. Baby Lb." program designed to educate parents of
new-born_infant • ut _infant and.child safety. This program consists of a booklet which
contains the baby's footprint. photograph; vital statistics acid -mother's -thumbprints as -
well as information and tips on child safety:
All of CHILD FIND'S programs and services, including- the "All -:About ' Me, Baby
I.D." program,. are offered free of charge and are endorsed by the Ontario Association of
Chiefs of Police.
"The fact is that there is a great deal that canbe done and is being done to, reduce the
tragedy of the incidence of missing children, says Jackie Cutmore. "Thanks to the
dedicated combined efforts of organizations like CHILD FIND and law enforcement
agencies, 52,664 of the children listed •as `missing' by the ROMP were eventually
located. The Green Ribbon really is a symbol of HOPE!" - .
working in their various communities. •
phis May each individual can show their support by wearing a Green Ribbon, making
a donation, supporting a CHILD FIND -sponsored event, learning more about child
safety or volunteering their support.
