National Missing Children's Day

An estimated 30,600 children were reported missing in the United States last year.

HOUSTON — Monday is reserved for the remembrance of our heroic veterans, but in some homes this year, it also marks a time to remember and hope for the return of a lost child.

May 25 is National Missing Children's Day each year. An estimated 30,600 children were reported missing in the United States last year, according to FBI records.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children website shows the faces of dozens of children—both named and unnamed— who remain missing in the Houston area. And sadly, these are just the cases that have been reported.

These are children who have been reported missing this year in Houston that NCMEC is working to find:

If you have any information regarding these cases, please call the Houston Police Department at 1-713-884-3131 or NCMEC at 1-800-843-5678.

National Missing Children's Day is meant to encourage parents and caregivers concerned with making the world a safe place or children. It's also a chance to give a moment of pause and solidarity to thousands of families still hoping their young loved ones will be found—or at least never forgotten.

President Ronald Reagan established National Missing Children's Day in May 1983 in memory of Etan Patz, a 6-year-old boy who disappeared from a New York city street corner while walking to school. He was never found and declared legally dead about two decades later.

The U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention commemorates the exemplary efforts of agencies, organizations and individuals working to protect children.

If you need help or other resources for finding or protecting a child, you can call the NCMEC hotline at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678). The center helps with both missing and abused children.

'It's gone': What the loss of summer camp means for kids

Gambar
NEW YORK (AP) — It wasn't just the leadership opportunities or seeing his best friends or even escaping months stuck at home because of the coronavirus pandemic that had Rory Sederoff thinking 2020 would be one of his best summers ever. This would have been the Toronto teenager's 15th year at Camp Walden, a sleepaway camp in upstate New York where he has spent every summer since he was 3 months old. He had already started rehearsing the speech he was going to give at the end-of-summer banquet, and imagined the exact tree by the waterfront that he would pick to be named in his honor. For 14-year-old Rory, whose parents work at Walden, camp is where he feels most like himself — disconnected from screens and open to new opportunities. "This summer, I would do many things that I won't really be able to do again," he said. "It's a summer filled with opportunities that now won't happen. There's no way to get

Kids Clothier French Toast Pioneers a Pandemic-Era Necessity: The Socially Distanced Photo Shoot

Now that the United States has begun to reopen, apparel brands are hoping for the return of shoppers—and perhaps even permitting themselves to think optimistically about their autumn collections. After all, fall is just around the corner, and many shoppers start looking for chilly weather clothing as early as July. But as with so many other facets of business, the pandemic hasn't just changed shopping patterns but marketing, too. Few brands are feeling that shift as acutely as French Toast. As a maker of accessibly priced school clothes for kids, the 35-year-old label stakes much of its vitality on back-to-school shopping. And since parents will start thinking about school clothes in just a few weeks, now's the time to get the creative work done, since it's all scheduled to go live on June 30. The question was: Where do you even begin? Nobody's sure when kids will be heading back to school, much less what school's going to look like once they g
