Children’S Anxiety

In Reply.— Dr Green's point is well taken. The Committee's statement on missing children began by noting that concerns about missing children are a serious source of parental anxiety. Although we were also aware of anecdotal data concerning fears in children, we did not know of any available data documenting or quantifying this. The Committee's intent was to provide pediatricians with information so that they could counsel the parents of their patients. By giving relative risk estimates, we hope to relieve parental, and indirectly children's, anxiety.

Cereal Boxes

No pediatric issue has so captured the attention of the American public during the past year as that of missing children. It is impossible to escape the haunting faces who peer out at us from television screens, milk cartons, breakfast cereal boxes, grocery sacks, bus posters, and business envelopes. Corporations vie with each other over sponsorship of public service campaigns to "publicize the plight of missing children," while television stations compete with a whole variety of specials. Naturally, whenever emotional concerns of such magnitude are raised, politicians are sure to become involved with stern demands for "immediate action." In May 1985, no less than three separate congressional committees held hearings on missing children all in the same week.

Missing Children

To the Editor.— The statement on missing children by the Committee on Early Childhood, Adoption, and Dependent Care (Pediatrics 1986;78:370-372) is helpful in defining the role of the pediatrician in dealing with this tragic situation. It did not, however, address a secondary problem that is now being seen. One result of the extensive media attention and public awareness of the problem of missing children is a heightened level of anxiety in the kids themselves. Some children are fearful to go outdoors, even in their own familiar neighborhoods.
