Global search for Andrew Thompson continues to grow

My friends, I have received this today: Updates about Andrew Thompson:

Global search for Andrew Thompson continues to grow. Three more very significant international missing children organisations joined the Global Search for Andrew campaign this week. At the request of the Australian Federal Police & the Australian Government, the US National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) & The International Center for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) are now using their considerable resources to help with the search. ICMEC was founded in 1998 by the US - based National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. It works to identify and coordinate a global network of organisations fighting child exploitation and abduction. ICMEC brings several important things to the search for Andrew by:

using a global resource to find missing children;

sending Andrew´s & Melinda´s details to national centres and affiliates worldwide, and

using their international network to disseminate images of and information about Andrew & his mother.

ICMEC also works very closely with national & international law enforcement agencies, such as Interpol.

Parents & Abducted Children Together (PACT) has also joined the search. PACT is a non-profit organisation registered in both the US and UK.

PACT was founded in 1999 by Lady Meyer, when she was living in Washington DC with her husband, then British Ambassador to the US. Lady Meyer has first-hand of International Parental Child Abductions & works tirelessy on these cases.

PACT´s mission is to fight parental child abduction internationally and, in partnership with law enforcement, to locate and retrieve missing children.

I am very grateful to all three organisations for using their considerable resources to help find Andrew.

Andrew´s campaign is getting bigger by the day & many more international initiatives are being developed & will continue to be developed until he is found.

Melinda, or anyone who knows Andrew´s whereabouts, can end this terrible ordeal for Andrew, herself, and me, simply by contacting someone to arrange for the return of Andrew & herself to Australia in the least traumatic way possible.
