Setting the scene
What parent has not experienced the terrible situation of the child who suddenly escapes his or her supervision. After scanning your surroundings, you still can’t see your child. It’s disarray and panic. You want to move heaven and earth to find the child quickly. The worst feeling ever overwhelms you. Impotence… Those who have had such an experience can attest to this.
If this were to happen for you, don’t panic! In a single “click” you will immediately have all the help of the people in your entourage.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of children go missing around the world. Some are found quickly, others after several hours, days or endless weeks. Still others will be found after several years while some will never be found, leaving families broken forever.
True to our mission
Innovating in the prevention of child abductions, disappearances and runaways, as well as in the development of effective search tools to quickly find a missing child, the Cédrika Provencher Foundation and its research centre, with the valuable collaboration of its partners and collaborators, present:
A computerized complement to “Cédrika Mobilization” and “Citizen Involvement”. Two projects previously carried out by the Cédrika Provencher Foundation, its Centre for Research and Prevention of Child Abductions, with the collaboration of its various partners.
What is ChildAlert+?
Here is the innovative tool par excellence to take immediate action in the event of a disappearance. It is the result of experience, a great deal of reflection and a real awareness of the needs of the child, the family and the population in such a situation.
A simple, structured operational protocol and tactical strategy, designed for the family and the population, a quick and effective action to find a child or any missing person, without wasting a single moment.
A response to a call for help, which mobilizes people in the vicinity of the event for immediate assistance, without stirring up the entire country too quickly. A new and decisive approach to the prevention of child abductions, disappearances and runaways.
An effective innovative tool, an immediate action that gives back the power to the parent or caregiver, to act immediately when a child suddenly disappears, making it possible to avoid a terrible and too often interminable tragedy.
A complement to any action
“AlertEnfant+” fits perfectly as a direct complement to any other action in the search for a missing person. It is in addition to, without replacing or competing with any other action whatsoever, for the safety of our children. Convinced that we must work together for maximum efficiency and avoid competing with each other. There is no room for improvisation or confusion.
An effective, realistic, innovative and scalable strategy to adapt to cutting-edge technologies that make it possible to respond at all times to the new realities of disappearances. A unique project of public interest. A complement to any other relevant action. “AlertEnfant+” is set up as an initial action to be taken in the event of a disappearance and is immediately presented as an essential direct complement to police action
Its special features
“ChildAlert+” specifically and fully occupies the period of time between the precise moment of disappearance and the arrival of the police on the scene, if necessary. She faithfully accompanies the family throughout the search, until the discovery of the missing child.
Who can raise the alarm, where and when?
The alert must be triggered from the first minutes of the disappearance, wherever you are: at home, at school, in the park, on a hike, at a funfair, and directly by the parent, teacher or any of the child’s companions
How does it work?
Triggering it will emit a signal mobilizing the population present within the initial broadcast perimeter, inviting them to respond “immediately” to your call for help.
Only people with the app, however, will receive the signal. That’s why it’s important to register early, both to help and to be helped, if your child suddenly disappears.
A police officer present or patrolling in the perimeter, in possession of the application, will be automatically informed. They will therefore be able to contact their department or simply participate in the search, without delay. If the child is not found quickly, the evolving perimeter will immediately reach the nearest police station within a reasonable period of time.
If there is evidence or appearance of abduction!
Immediately trigger “ChildAlert+” and immediately call 911 to alert the police. While waiting for them to arrive, the people around you will already be at work, ready to report any useful information to the investigators.
App Availability
“ChildAlert+” is available to you now. It will gradually spread its wings to evolve and adapt with the help of AI, to adequately serve populations everywhere.
It is also suitable for quickly and efficiently tracing any loved one, missing.
We believe it should now be an integral part of every cell phone. You need to be prepared for any eventuality and avoid wasting valuable time during a disappearance.
We also need help to help you.
Although “AlertEnfant+” is completely free, we must nevertheless count on your generosity, to the extent of your means, to allow the Cédrika Provencher Foundation and its Research Center to continue its action with children and families and in collaboration with populations around the world.
