What to do if a person is missing?

What if the person disappeared? Very often this question confounds many of us. Of course, first of all it is necessary to apply to law enforcement agencies: police or police, to write a statement about the loss of your loved one. But very often, before the expiration of three days, they do not accept it, arguing: "He will walk up and return." Do not worry. " This is the opinion of many inhabitants, although it is completely wrong. The application must accept and start search activities in the shortest possible time.

What you need to have with you, to make an application:

• Passport or identity documents of the applicant;
• Documents that point to the identity of the missing;
• Describe in the application the appearance and special signs of the disappeared, moles, scars, tattoos, physical defects, for example, the lack of limbs or what will help in the search and identification;
• Describe the clothes and items that were with the missing. Keys, umbrella, briefcase, mobile phone, its number and model.

It is best to talk about the possible circle of communication. After all, there are cases when relatives "stand on their ears," made a search, wrote a statement, and the son or daughter just left to rest with friends to the south and not warned anyone from their relatives.

• First of all, stay in one place and not go anywhere;
• Attract attention to the guards;
• If the child does not speak well or does not know his or her surname, make a special memo which he can give to adults;
• In the street do not talk to strangers and do not get into their car;

It is best for your own peace of mind to call up every day and cope with your health.
