What does CARI mean in INTERNATIONAL

CARI stands for Child Abduction Recovery International, an organization dedicated to finding and returning missing children worldwide.

CARI provides specialized investigative resources that are designed to maximize the chances of locating a missing child in a short amount of time. They utilize experienced investigation and recovery professionals from both the public and private sector to locate and recover missing children quickly and safely.

No, the staff at CARI volunteer their time out of dedication for their cause; no donations are accepted or expected to use their services.

You can get started by submitting a search request online or by phone. Once your request is received, they will contact you within 24 hours to start the search process which often consists of background checks, database searches, interviews of family members, friends, neighbors etc. Depending on where your child is located they may also need to coordinate international contacts between law enforcement agencies in other countries if necessary.

No, although their primary focus is on abducted children, they also assist with runaway/missing children cases as well as adoption issues such as parental kidnapping or abduction as long as local authorities have been contacted first.
