Executive Director’s Message

We are pleased to announce that we just signed an extension of our agreement with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). As program partners, we have access to all their educational resources, and they have access to ours. We are stronger together as we fight the never-ending battles against Internet crime.

Later in June, we will launch our new website, which will give our readers much more information about what we are doing and more helpful information on how to educate themselves to help their loved ones.
