WHAT IS I STOP?

1. A way to make your own personal action to stop child abduction.


2. A way for us to celebrate and share all the individual actions - large and small - across the country.


3. A grassroots movement to stop the abduction of children in Canada.


4. All of the above!

Canadians inspire our work everyday. The I STOP movement celebrates them.

WHAT ARE WE ASKING?

Commit to making your own personal action to stop abduction.

Every individual contribution combines to make a huge difference in supporting our ongoing search for missing children. Our I Stop movement celebrates those individual contributions and the ripple effect they cause in their own communities.

People across the country are taking action to stop child abduction.  I STOP actions can assist in the prevention or investigation of missing children, or inspire others to take their own action. 

Here's some examples:

Prevention

Talk to your children about recognizing dangerous situations and how to respond to them. See our "Be Aware" information series for tips and the many other resources available in our “Protect Your Child” section.


Trust your instinct if you think your ex-spouse is planning to abduct your children. See our "Personal Profile" document for tips on what information to have on hand.


Listen to your gut feelings if you think a friend or family member is planning to abduct their children. Tell someone about your concerns, or email us or call us toll-free at 1-800-661-6160 for advice.

Investigation
