WHO WE ARE
The Unlost is a nonprofit organization dedicated to locating missing persons, primarily endangered children and teens, and returning them home safely, as well as developing proven rehabilitation platforms for abusers. We fund and facilitate a network of investigators, field agents, contractors, and developers who understand the pain of being missed, being missing, and loving someone who is missing. People like us are committed to take the risk, to walk this road, to take a bullet to save a stranger.
Societal problems like runaways, kidnappings, and slavery are uncomfortable and monumental, these are not atrocities that will be solved over-night, but we are willing to do the work. With teams of well-trained investigators, plenty of data-crunching scientists, and passionate partners like you, we will see the difference. ...Read More.
There are an estimated 49.6 million people in modern slavery worldwide, more then 3 times the amount estimated during the 15th-19th centries, with 12 million of them being children. In 2023, there were 48,008 missing persons reports in Texas, with 75% of those being children.
RECOVER
Traffickers Love Runaways.
Kids who are lured away from home are much easier to control and traffic than if they were snatched up against their will. Although “predator abductions” do still happen, the majority of missing kids are taken due to a process of manipulation and “grooming” via family, friends, social media, and/or other online platforms. These kids are recruited, either by fear or false promises, into a life of prostitution, pornography, forced crime, and many other atrocities. If a child runs away from home, no-one goes looking for that child... This is where The Unlost gets to work!REHAB
Training The Mind.
Our developers are also designing software and applications to aid in the abusers' rehabilitation processes. These applications focus on training aspects of the human personality such as impulse control, moral compass, and ethics. Each time the mind makes a willful choice, that pathway is reinforced, it is the mechanism that leads to addiction and destructive behaviors. Our development teams intend to use this mechanism to retrain the minds of abusers to resist abusive behaviors by a process of choice simulation and positive reinforcements.THE STAGGERING SCOPE
This simulator provides a visual approximation of the staggering scope of our task. As you adjust the sliders, you will see how your contributions influence our work and the issue at large.According to the FBI, around 460,000 children are reported missing each year. The Child Crime Prevention & Safety Center estimates the number of missing yearly at around 840,000.
AGENT EXPERIENCE MATTERS
Experienced, well-trained agents are essential for bringing home as many missing persons as possible. Although their salary and expenses may be higher than that of a novice investigator, their return rate will result in a net positive for our cause.WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO
"A young man was visiting a beach after a victious storm had washed hundreds of thousands of sand dollars onto shore. The young man noticed an elderly gentleman picking up sand dollars and placing them back into the ocean's waters. The young man approached the elderly gentleman and said "Why are you doing that? You'll never be able to save all the sand dollars. What you're doing doesn't matter." The elderly man picked up another sand dollar, as he placed it gently into the water he said "It matters to this one."
