MISSING - Amy Fitzpatrick


Amy Fitzpatrick went missing in Mijas in Spain on January 1st while walking home from her friends house and has not been seen since. We are asking for your help so this does not happen again!! We are also looking for volunteer's in Ireland and in European countries to help assist in our on-going campaign to get signatures on the petition to get an Alert System set into place. Please email us info@amyfitzpatrickmissing.com

See also Help find Amy or her dad's bebo page (thanks to anonymous for the links)
I came across this photo while googling for something else (I think it was on somebody's blog) and just felt I should add my little bit to further the search. This is not even the tip of the iceberg - if you visit Amy's dad's bebo page or any of the other web sites set up for missing persons you will see just how widespread the problem is - so I can't begin to imagine how you can combat something on such a large scale as this. But if by posting links to the occasional appeal helps in any positive way then we can feel that we have achieved something (or helped at least).

Project Jason, how you can help

Project Jason is a non profit organization is to create and increase public awareness of missing people through a variety of outreach and educational activities. Project Jason seeks to bring hope and assistance to families of the missing by providing resources and support."

Now you can help by selecting goodsearch as your search engine:-

GoodSearch.com is powered by Yahoo! and raises money for charities using a model similar to paid searches on Yahoo or Google (Research): Advertisers pay a fee whenever Internet users click on a given link. Last year search engines generated almost $6 billion through such searches.

I forgot to mention that this was recommended by chillzero who has been very supportive of this charity.

Missing Kids

Somebody left me a message about a non profit way to help find missing children - I must admit my first reaction was of doubt but I quickly realised that this was a CNN News report so must be genuine. They say 'The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has launched a 21st century take on milk carton advertising: a downloadable computer screensaver that flips through photographs of missing kids'. For more information read the FAQ.



I have had a look and think this is a great idea - sadly it only applies to the USA but perhaps in time it will be extended world-wide. Anybody who wants a copy of the screensaver click here:
My thanks to the person who brought this to my attention - I hope anybody who reads this will also spread the news to their friends, family and colleagues. PLEASE DO.
I am also relieved to find the message thing actually does work.
Update on my message board: I have it on good authority that this screen saver will be available world-wide. So, as soon as it is, I hope everybody will download it and set it as their default.
