Take Root

Take Root, a non-profit organization established on a grant from the United States Department of Justice,[1][2][3][4] is the first missing-child organization ever founded by former abducted children. Incorporated in 2005, over three hundred former abducted children have participated, providing peer support to fellow former abducted children, advocating on child-abduction issues from the child-victim's perspective, and providing landmark information on the victimology of child-abduction to multidisciplinary professionals, impacted families, and the public. Their mission is to "elevate the voice of the abducted child, using the collected wisdom of former missing-children to improve America's missing-child response." Their tag-line is "beyond recovering missing-children; to helping missing-children recover."[5]
