first website on missing kids |

across IndiaSaturday, March 18
Bhopal:
A missing child is a parent's worst nightmare. Every
year hundreds of children are lost in crowds, in unknown areas or
run away from home. Four-year-old Vishal Talreja of Indore has been
missing for over one and a half years. He disappeared suddenly while
playing outside his house and all efforts to trace him have proved
futile. Ms. Manju Talreja, Vishal's mother said, "As usual, he went
out to play with the neighbourhood children. I got him back inside
twice but he insisted on going out saying he would be back soon.
When I went to collect him again, he was not there."
But now
for hundreds of families like this who have lost their young ones
help is close at hand. An Indore based couple have started India's
first website on missing children in an effort to help families in
tracing their missing children.
Ms. Anuj Bhargava, the
Website Creator said, "The idea is to develop a network of the
community all over India. So that every netizen can take part in it,
take a print out of the missing child and post it at various public
places like bus stops, railway stations and cinema halls."
In
it's first week alone missingindiankids.com has attracted a large
number of visitors. And the creators of the site feel that once the
site gains popularity, it will help many families across the
country. | |
