Hassani Campbell is a 5-year-old boy who has cerebral palsy – he wears braces on his ankles and a big smile on his face. Police say Hassani went missing from Oakland, California on August 10, 2009 outside a shoe store parking lot.  Sadly, he has not been seen since.

Police arrested his foster parents early on in the investigation, but then released them due to lack of evidence. Investigators are calling this case a homicide investigation.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said Hassani was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt and gray pants.
If you have any information on where Hassani could be, please call the Okland Police or Crime Stoppers: (510) 777-8572

Investigators in America and Mexico are trying to figure out where the body of American tourist David Hartley could be.  Authorities say David was allegedly shot and killed by Mexican Pirates on Lake Falcon when he and his wife Tiffany crossed over into Mexican territory.  Tiffany says they were taking pictures and jet skiing together on the water when gunfire erupted and David was shot in the back of the head.  Tiffany said she had to make a life or death split second decision after trying to save her husband when she realized he was too heavy to move and load onto her jet ski.  Tiffany claims that as she was being fired upon, she had to race as fast as she could back to American waters.  At least one identified witness has come forward and claims he saw Tiffany flying through the water on her jet ski as she was being chased by a boat of men.

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

take 25logo_take25-color_hiresYou can host a TAKE 25 event right in your own community to help educate children and parents on safety. This program, offered by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, aspires to get communities across America involved and to hopefully prevent abductions. It was created in honor of National Children’s Day to encourage parents and guardians to take 25 minutes to educate their children about safety topics. The goal is to help children make better decisions in life, set limitations on what they do, and give parents and guardians the tools they need. Some of the topics covered are Internet, school, out and about, and at home safety. Take a few moments to read more about Take 25 and consider becoming a volunteer or hosting a program in your own neighborhood.

FBI: CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

I had a meeting today with the FBI in Washington, D.C.  This gathering was a great opportunity to get acquainted with agents from the Crimes Against Children specialized unit.  Sometimes when you think of the FBI, you may think intelligence and terrorism, and not so much about child protection.  I learned a lot during our discussion, especially when it relates to child abductions, and I want to pass this insight along to you.     

The FBI Crimes Against Children division is stacked with specialized agents in child safety to accomplish two main goals:

1-      Innocence Lost initiative – To prevent child prostitution, and take down the “pimp” predators.

2-      CARD Team – To rapidly deploy a CARD Team anywhere in the country to provide expertise and assist law enforcement during the most critical time period following abduction.

INNOCENCE LOST INITIATIVE
