Find the Children

About Find the Children
Find the Children is a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding missing children. It was founded in 1983 by the late television producer, Linda Otto. Linda launched Find the Children to promote communication between local and federal law enforcement, the media, and the parents of abducted children.
Linda produced the film, “Adam,” which aired on television in 1983. The movie portrayed the story about the kidnapping and murder of Adam, the son of her friend John Walsh. At the end of the movie, photos of missing children played on the screen. As a result, several of the children were found. This was the first time media was used to find missing children.
You can watch the original movie “Adam” (1983) and the sequel “Adam His Song Continues” (1986) on many of the Streaming services.

Recovery Task Force
For over 30 years, Find The Children has helped to reunite children with their families.
Find The Children is the coordinating agency for the Child Abduction Task Force, which is a multi-agency team, sponsored by the Inter-Agency Council for Child Abuse and Neglect (ICAN). Participating agencies include: the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office, the Los Angeles Police Department, FBI, Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office (Child Abduction Unit), and several community mental health agencies. The Child Abduction Task Force serves children of Los Angeles County when they are recovered from a non-family or parental abduction. The goal of the Task Force is to reduce trauma to victim children and their families by referring them to a therapist who is highly trained in the child recovery and reunification process.
