Now a days I see many children missing. Most advanced and fastest way to search missing children and find their parents is - 1. Collect DNA of the parents who is reporting missing children and DNA of each child found on foot path begging, with in a fraction of second you will get 99% match. Because these children are kidnapped just to earn money - to beg. I know taking DNA from begging children is not that easy but we can start a free health camps on Station and public places where if they come (???) we can take blood sample and test DNA. Police can ask begging child who is your parent in most cases somebody will say I am his parent, then take DNA of that person if it doesn't match then that child is stolen. If it matches then we need to help them to stand on their own legs so that they can live better life. 2. In many countries 'AMBER Alert ' system is in place and run by government we can implement that as well. Jai Hind. more
