FBI launches app to help find missing children

Apparently a child goes missing every 40 seconds in the US, which totals up to a staggering 765,000 children a year who go missing! While this isn’t exactly new, an app that should help the recovery of a missing child is. The FBI have started to develop an app that will contain photos and information regarding the missing child. This is to help parents and the concerned public to get the information quickly which is apparently very crucial during the first few minutes of a child disappearing.

Since the smartphone is gaining a huge following and given how much time people spend on their phones, it’s only natural that the concerned public and especially parents will be access the information at any time. The best part is that the app is free of charge. At the moment it appears that the app is only available for the iPhone but the FBI are currently working on getting it ported over to other platforms as well.
