ATTORNEY GENERAL LARRY LONG REMINDS SOUTH DAKOTANS OF NATIONAL MISSING CHILDREN’S DAY 

PIERRE, S.D. - Attorney General Larry Long is asking South Dakotans to observe National Missing Children’s Day on Tuesday May 25, 2004. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has dedicated this annual event for missing children since 1983. 

This year’s campaign “Picture Them Home” puts the focus of awareness on the power of pictures. To commemorate the day Attorney General Larry Long is asking that South Dakotans keep updated snapshots of their children, grandchildren and friends. “Do not become complacent with missing children posters,” said Long. “Take the time to look at these posters in passing because you may be the one chance that could bring these children home.” 

If you need any additional information about National Missing Children’s Day call the National Center’s toll-free hotline, at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).
