Are you looking for someone who left to sell magazines?

At this point in time, I am just starting to add links and information on how to search for your child or a friend after they "run off" with a magazine/soap crew. Hopefully, I will be able to offer a comprehensive list of organizations or web site links you can call/visit to aide with your search. In the meantime, here are some helpful hints.

• The first place to try is Parent Watch, Inc. - Earlene Williams dedicates her life to helping parents find their children.
• The first place to try is your local police department. Call and ask them if there have been any complaints on door-to-door salespeople. Most crews do not register for a permit to solicit like they are required to do. Therefore, crew salespeople are "hauled" in for soliciting without a permit. Your local police department may be able to inform you of crews that have been in your area. You may be able to track down the crew your child/friend is on through the information they provide you.
• Call the better business bureau! They get complaints continually about the crews. Visit BBB.org to check out a company.
• There are many many missing persons sites on the WWW. Try searching for these sites and leaving messages on message boards. Its worth a shot.
