For nearly 155 years the International Committee of the Red Cross has worked to bring families separated by conflict or natural disaster back together again.
Under international humanitarian law, aka the laws of war, people have the right to know what happened to their missing relatives. Governments, the military authorities and armed groups have an obligation to give information and help efforts to put families back together.

also a child's worst nightmare...

This is both a parent's and a child's worst nightmare.
-
I read in one of Reddit public chats a story of one mother. She lost a child in overcrowded mall, as soon as she understood what happened she jumped on a bench there and screamed to people about what happened and how her child was looking. So people were willing to help her, they began to search and soon after that the child was found on another floor of the mall. I think she reacted very well!

As a viewer, the biggest torture is not knowing if any of these parents were reunited with their parents.

Death penalty for all kidnappers.

My son passed away at tender 10 yrs old a few months ago. Let me tell you he was always quick and I always had to be in my toes. Only once I turned an aisle and he stayed behind for 3 seconds thought he was following till I panicked and ran back around and he smiled like mommy I was coming. That time I got him back.. but this time I didn’t due to his illness. I pray anyone reading never feels this pain.

Once my mum lost me at a fair. She climbed on the stage, took the microphone and it turned out I was just waiting where she told me to wait if I got lost.

That’s it my kids going on a leash

My mom was nearly kidnaped when she was around 5. They went to a mall and a couple of elderly just grabbed my mom and tried to go. If my grandma sister hadn't the luck of spotting them before they went out of the mall. It was early 60's, they would never see her again. The elder's justification was "She is so beautiful, we have money to raise her well".
-
Before we went somewhere, I always told my sons where we met, if we lose each other. This helped several times.

I was DYING when I didn't find my dog, I can't imagine losing a child ...
-
I wish they all found their child after these terrifying event.

I lost my baby brother in a store once. And it was horrifying. When I panicked I kept seeing my brother's face in my mind and images of him crying somewhere alone and scared kept replaying in my mind over and over again. And as I screamed out his name running while crying it felt like my heart was about to sink down into my stomach and eventually fall out. I was able to find him however that was something I never want to feel again.

"A child's worse fear is a parent's worse nightmare" -Wise man

My mom just leaves me when we're in a store. And then I start panicking for 10 minutes until I found her. One time, when she saw me, she just asked, "Does this pot look okay or not?"
-
My parents always leave me behind. To a point where I think it’s on purpose.
-
i remember a woman looking for her child in a market, it was night time and she was crying, looking here and there. We couldn't do anything. this still give me shivers to this day.
