Mobile Phone Service Helps Find Missing Children

A mobile phone system allowing users to help find missing children scored its first success Sunday in Jeonju (South Korea), 100 days after the system was introduced, according to Digital Chosunilbo.

A 14-year-old girl missing since April, was found in a hospital and reunited with her parents on Sunday.

"The service, jointly started by SK Telecom with the National Police Agency on May 14, sends out the photo and description of missing children to subscribers in the area when instances of children going missing take place.

The police "made a contract with SK Telecom and asked 15 million registered people whether they would receive SMS message on searching missing child, and 6.3million of them agreed to get the messages. KTF is also preparing a similar program.”
