This publication of the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs and Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is meant as a resource for siblings of missing children and their parents or caretakers. It was written to help young people think about and handle different situations and circumstances that may arise when a sibling is missing. The contributors are themselves siblings of once missing children. The guide discusses mental health, family dynamics, maintaining school and work routines, how to cope with holidays and traditions, working with law enforcement and the media, and what happens when the missing sibling returns, as well as personal stories and messages of hope.
