Press Release:
Paragon GPS Launches Child Abduction Awareness Campaign
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, a child is abducted or missing every 40 seconds. Statistics from law enforcement also show that 44 percent of children who are abducted are murdered within the first hour; 74 percent by the second hour. "These numbers are grim," John Camenero, Vice President of Paragon GPS explains. "That's why we are forming a board of people who will include several child safety experts and other industry experts to launch this awareness campaign and to educate the public. We have to keep our children safe." Funding has been provided to Paragon GPS for this two-fold campaign which is first to educate and second, to develop products to assist in the aid of child safety. "Parents need to empower themselves with information that will help to protect their children, and then act on it," Camenero says. The abduction of children occurs much more often in this country than most people would suspect, but because of a fault in the country's national crime reporting procedures, no one knows the true number. For instance, the FBI does not report on attempted abduction cases. According to industry experts, motivating factors in child abduction are often complicated and can include an array of disillusioning factors. Research and investigative experience have shown that family abductions, motivated by domestic discord and custody disputes, are the most common. Short-term, non-family incidents where abductors release or return children, often before anyone knows they are missing, constitute another type of child abduction. These short-term cases often involve sexual molestation. Long-term, non-family abductions are the least common. These cases are typically reported to police as missing child reports and rarely result in a speedy resolution. Motivations for these types of abductions typically include: sexual gratification; retribution (e.g., revenge); financial gain (e.g., ransom or extortion); desire to kill; and maternal desire. Sexually-motivated abductions represent the most common type of non-family abduction. These cases also pose the highest risk of victim mortality. And, due to their potentially lethal profile, law enforcement must conduct stealthy and well-managed investigations. "So, while education is the first step, prevention is the second," Camenero explains. For more information about Paragon GPS and their plans for the future, e-mail: press@paragongps.com.
