THAT IS THE AIM OF THIS NEW PRODUCTION.
THIS WAS WRITTEN IN RESPONSE TO HER EXPERIENCES .
>> THIS JOB IS TO RAISE AWARENESS .
I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE PROACTIVE , WHETHER THEY VOLUNTEER OR DONATE MONEY , THEY SUPPORT IT.
THEY NEED TO BE ALERT TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS AND TO LISTEN TO THEIR NEIGHBORS AND TO BE THE VILLAGE THAT WE NO LONGER HAVE, REALLY.
>> BASED ON REAL-LIFE STORIES ABOUT ABDUCTION , A 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL, MIA EXPERIENCED IN HER SEARCH TO FIND HER.
AFTER THE PRODUCTION, THEY WANTED TO SHARE INVENTIVE TIPS .
>> THIS INITIATIVE CAME ABOUT IN 2021, COMING OF COVID.
IT IS BASICALLY GOING OUT TO OPEN CASES THAT WERE THREE EUROS OLD OR OLDER AND SAY WE ARE WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK ABOUT THIS CASE.
WE DIDN'T TAKE THE CASE FROM THEM , BUT WE OFFERED A SECOND SET OF EYES AND RESOURCES .
WE LIKE TO SAY MAKE YOURSELF A HARD TARGET.
MOST YOUNG PEOPLE WALK AROUND WITH THEIR HEAD DOWN AND AREN'T AWARE OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS.
BE AWARE.
SECONDLY , WE DO A LOT OF SOCIAL MEDIA COACHING SO EVERYBODY KNOWS AND WE SHARE THAT INFORMATION ABOUT LETTING EVERYBODY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO BE.
IF YOU ARE WRITING WITH SOMEONE FOR THE FIRST TIME, MAYBE YOU WANT TO TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF THE LICENSE PLATE.
THOSE ARE JUST SOME TIPS.
