New Global Internet Channel Launched to Find Missing Children

The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), in partnership with YouTube, and The Find Madeleine Campaign today announced the creation of a new initiative that will provide worldwide exposure to information and videos of missing children. A new YouTube Missing Children's Channel has been created exclusively for posting videos of missing children.

The timing of the announcement coincides with the 100th day since Madeleine McCann went missing. Madeleine disappeared on May 3, while on a family vacation in Portugal. This past June, Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, sought ICMEC's assistance to create an international resource that would quickly disseminate pictures of missing children throughout the world. Gerry McCann recently discussed the need for disseminating information and images of missing children on a broader,
global basis.

"Kate and I are really enthusiastic about this powerful new resource," says Gerry McCann, Madeleine's father. "We believe it will help in the search for Madeleine and many other children. We are grateful to ICMEC for its leadership on behalf of our child and so many others."
