Markets to Display Photos of Missing Children
- Share via
A national organization is setting up supermarket kiosks that will display the photographs of missing youngsters, spokesmen said Wednesday in Los Angeles.
The cubicle “message centers” will bear the pictures of six children, and the photos will be rotated each month, said Sheldon Hearst, president of Supermarket Communication Systems, which operates the message centers in 5,500 major supermarkets across the nation. Also joining in the effort is a national group called Find the Children and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
