What to do if your child goes missing
If you suspect that your child is missing, the first thing to do is to open a missing person’s case at a police station near you.
According to Bianca Aswegen, the National Coordinator at Missing Children South Africa (MCSA), there is no waiting period to report a missing person in South Africa.
“The first 24 hours are crucial because the chances of finding them are higher,” says Aswegen.
