If you look for your child, he/she will know about it and that’s important for the future.
THE POLICE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU, DON'T FEAR TO CALL THEM AS MUCH AS YOU NEED TO
Call regularly to check up on any progress and keep a record of the time of your calls and the name of the person you are speaking to.
The police automatically record the missing person's report in the Confederation's computerised system, which is inaccessible to the public. They then perform an initial risk analysis concerning the safety, physical and psychological integrity of the child.
In the event of a suspected departure abroad, the child must also be registered in the Schengen Information System (SIS). This international database can be accessed by the police of Schengen signatory states, customs and airport officers. If you are convinced that your child has gone abroad, make sure that the police have also entered him/her on the SIS.
If the police officer in charge of your child's disappearance decides not to issue a public missing persons notice, you are free to search for your child by any means necessary.
