§11295a Reporting

Summary

To get grant money under the related program, the grant recipient must each year give the Administrator and the public certain nationwide counts. These must be based only on reports the recipient receives and not on any extra data gathering. The counts cover seven items: how many children are reported missing; how many are reported as victims of non-family abductions; family abductions; missing children who were recovered; children missing from State-sponsored care; recoveries of children missing from State care; and children missing from State care who are likely victims of child sex trafficking. The recipient must also track attempted child abductions to find links and patterns, share that information with law enforcement, and share it with the public when appropriate. Each year it must give the Administrator and the public the rules and steps it uses to form forensic partnerships and recommend forensic resources to law enforcement, and it must review those partnerships and referrals each year against its rules and new technology.
