Each year, thousands of children go missing. The first 48 hours are critical for ensuring the return of a child. Whether they go missing from running away, kidnapping, or trafficking, children are especially vulnerable to exploitation and harm when away from home. Private Investigator and Founder of the Bringing Them Home Project Joe Carrillo understands the importance of that critical window and discusses how his organization works to locate children and explains what dangers pose the biggest threats to vulnerable children today. Later, Joe's granddaughter, Madison Ginebra discusses how she's working to raise awareness about the dangers of human trafficking with her club, MAS Awareness.

The Bringing Them Home Project is an organization dedicated to removing children from dangers they may face on the streets. By providing families with reunification services and counseling resources, the Bringing Them Home Project ensures the protection of vulnerable children.
