Amber Alert for Indian missing/ lost/ trafficked children (We are featured in an article in the Indian Media)

Here is an article featuring our recent work. If you would like to join in this movement, we welcome you with open arms and we are determined to make a difference. Click on 'Full Screen' button on the top of the box and 'Zoom' buttons at the bottom of the box to adjust the reading in clear view.

It is my hope that some day India should have it's own proprietary software to track missing/ lost/ trafficked children and to network those individuals that are interested in the effort of restoration. In this context, I want to reiterate my recent call for any individual /group of software professional(s) (even the college students) that is/ are interested to develop such software to join. But till such a time, we'll work around with this social networking site. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write to me (in the comments section below) and I would be happy to answer them for you. Please share (through your blog, web site, facebook, and twitter accounts etc) this news with anyone that you know of would be interested to join in this movement.

Now, I want to take this opportunity to say WELCOME to Indiachildalert.

How do you deal with an unacceptable behavior of a child in a child care institution (CCI)?
