Dear Visitors,

Welcome to Take My Hand Precious Lord, Lead Me Home - or "Lead Me Home," as we tend to say. We're thrilled that you've decided to stop by! Hopefully, any information that you seek is readily available and easily accessible here. We will try to answer some of the more common questions regarding our site in the remaining paragraphs of this letter. If you still have questions, please feel free to email us at: admin(at)teribithia.com. (Please replace the (at) with a @ symbol. Presenting the address in this format should cut down on the spam and unsolicited emails that this site receives, allowing us more time to devote to assisting missing children and our guests.)

Let us begin by stating the goals of our website. We seek to aid in the discovery and recovery of missing and abducted children through encouraging public interest about this world wide problem. First and foremost, we hope our guests might see a photo of a missing child on our website, recognize that child, and call in a lead to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, at 1-800-The-Lost. You can help bring a child home! Secondly, we hope that, through featuring cases with a wide variety of circumstances, we can dispel the common belief that an abduction has taken place only when a stranger darts out from a dark corner and drags a little boy or girl away. We seek to show that every abduction is unique and every child has a different story. Thirdly, we hope that our format - featuring only two cases a week and consistently updating these cases with the latest available information - allows our visitors to follow a case that interests them. If following the cases makes you want to help the missing children, our Links page and Official Websites page provides plenty of opportunities.

This page has been evolving for years now and will continue to change and grow in the coming years. Thank you for your patience :) Despite the regular changes to this site, here are some things which will almost certainly remain the same:

1. Please do not contact us with tips or information about missing children. We are not law enforcement and we do not have the resources to handle such information. If you feel that you know something about a missing child, please contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-The-Lost.

2. Please do NOT use the information on this website for anything other than it is intended. The images and information about these children are here in hopes of successfully bringing them home. We do not own the children's pictures or information and cannot and never will give you permission to use them for any other purpose.

3. Parents, you are always in control here. If you are the custodial parent of a child featured here, please feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns, or comments that you may have. Our email is listed at the top of this page.

4. We seek to work together with other missing children websites and foundations. Please visit our Links page to find out about some of the other organizations who are trying to bring the missing kids home.

Thank you!

The Administration
