When a child goes missing, every minute matters. The case of Crystal Alizee Carrillo, a 15-year-old reported missing from Dallas, highlights the importance of rapid information sharing and collaboration across agencies and communities. The ADAM Program, co-founded by LexisNexis Risk Solutions and @NCMEC, helps extend the reach of critical missing-child alerts when time matters most. Technology, trusted data, and public awareness can help bring children home safely.
