“I would ask and send our prayers to Elizabeth and to her family, but I would also like to remind parents all across this country to talk to your kids about their personal safety, talk to them about the "Know the Rules" educational program put out by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. And I would urge every parent to log on to www.missingkids.com and learn what they can do to protect and educate their children. Nearly 2,000 children are reported missing every day in the United States of America, and we all must be prepared as parents and grandparents to deal with the tragedy, should it occur. That means having updated quality photographs and knowing our children's height and weight. We should be aware that looking at pictures of missing kids brings them home and that we commit ourselves to looking at the photos we get in the mail or we see in a grocery store. If we all do our part, together we can prevent abductions and bring children like Elizabeth and like Ludwig Koons home where they belong.”
