Take Root, a non-profit organization funded by the US Department of Justice, [1] [2] [3] [4] is the first missing-child organization ever founded by former abducted children. Incorporated in 2005, over one hundred former abducted children have participated, providing peer support to fellow former abducted children, advocating on child-abduction issues from the child-victim's perspective, and providing landmark information on the victimology of child-abduction to multidisciplinary professionals, impacted families, and the public.
