Tom Dart's unit has found more than 1,000 kids, and for many years working hand in hand with DCFS, who also pays for the salaries of four officers on the unit.
Everyday officers with the Sheriff Department’s Child Rescue Unit crisscrosses Cook County in search of missing kids, who are supposed to be in custody of the Department of Child and Family Services, but are not, for a number of reasons.Wednesday is National Missing Children's Day.
"We don’t kick in no doors, it's just interaction, one on one," said Commander Dion Trotter with the Child Rescue Unit."This group of kids. I just can't understand how this is not the highest priority for people, because they're the most vulnerable children who've done nothing wrong," said Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.
Commander Trotter says kids go on the run for different reasons, looking for a familiar neighborhood or relative. "We’re a place where a young person can reach out any time of any day and have a live voice help them," said Susan Frankel, the CEO of the National Runaway Safeline, which is a Chicago-based organization that provides 24/7 services to young people in crisis — helping them safely get back home or find another alternative.
