body
BACKGROUND:
As proclaimed by the Florida Legislature, the first Florida Missing Children’s Day was Monday, September 13, 1999. Each year, impacted families, law enforcement officers and citizens convene to remember Florida’s children who are still missing and those who will never come home again. The objective of the day is to raise awareness of Florida’s current missing children, to educate the public on child safety and abduction prevention, and to recognize those individuals who have made outstanding contributions in missing child issues.
Florida Missing Children’s Day reaffirms the City of Coconut Creek’s commitment to bring attention to the needs of missing children and to recognize Florida’s efforts in protecting children through prevention, education, and community involvement.
