Frequently Asked Questions
Oregon Missing Children, FAQ
Is there a waiting period to report a missing child?
No. Federal law (Suzanne's Law, part of the PROTECT Act) prohibits any waiting period for reporting a missing person under 21. Call 911 immediately.
What is the difference between AMBER Alert and a missing-person report?
An AMBER Alert is issued only when specific criteria are met (confirmed abduction, risk of serious harm, sufficient descriptive information). All missing-child cases are reported to NCIC and NCMEC regardless of whether an AMBER Alert is activated.
How do I get a missing-child photo updated on posters?
Contact NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST. They coordinate age-progression and re-distribution with law enforcement.
Are all missing-child cases public?
Most are, to maximize tips. A small number are not publicized at law enforcement request (risk of harm to child, ongoing operation).
