Missing Child Poster: What Is It?
A Missing Child Poster is a printed document that is distributed around a local area, city or even county in the event that a child goes missing and cannot be found.
Alternate Name:
- Missing Child Flyer.
The purpose of the poster, just like any Missing Person Poster Template is to inform locals and the general public that a child has gone missing and that people, usually family and close friends are desperately looking for them.
A Missing Child Poster will usually contain the following information:
- A recent photograph of the child that has gone missing so that it can leave an imprint in the memory of the general public;
- A short description on their appearance. If the child has any unusual characteristics or visible marks on their face, it would be wise to note these down too;
- Include the last known place where they were seen along with the time and date if this information is available. Also note down the date that the child went missing;
- Leave contact information for people to get in touch should they have any information.
