Heading of the Part: Locating and Returning Missing, Runaway, and Abducted Children.

The article focuses on proposed amendments by the Department of Children and Family Services in Illinois, aiming to expand the definition of "Child or Youth," ensuring prompt notifications to law authorities and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children within 24 hours of a missing child report, and mandating thorough reporting and updates upon a child's return. These amendments intend to enhance child welfare procedures and the handling of missing, runaway, or abducted children.
