Whereas parents, and all other adults, must be ever vigilant
in public places to protect children, who by their very na-
ture are trusting and unsuspecting, from those depraved
and vile individuals who would prey on them;
Whereas recognizing the risk of child abduction, some retail
businesses, libraries, museums, hospitals, and other pub-
lic and private establishments have developed safety pro-
cedures and programs designed to prevent abductors
from using crowds of people as cover for nefarious acts;
Whereas one of the most successful programs to prevent child
abduction is the ‘‘Code Adam’’ alarm developed in 1994
and implemented by Wal-Mart stores and SAM’S Clubs
throughout the Nation;
Whereas the National Center for Missing and Exploited Chil-
dren has been instrumental in helping to implement the
‘‘Code Adam’’ child safety program at retail and busi-
nesses and public establishments; and
Whereas, named in tribute to 6-year-old Adam Walsh who
was abducted from a shopping mall in the State of Flor-
ida and murdered in 1981, the ‘‘Code Adam’’ alarm sig-
nals that there is a missing child and alerts designated
employees in the affected retail business, public establish-
ment or library to abandon their normal responsibilities
and, in a coordinated and prearranged organized manner,
to begin searching for the child and monitoring the estab-
lishment exits to ensure that the child is not removed
from the establishment: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives recog-
nizes the ‘‘Code Adam’’ child safety program, commends
all retail businesses and public establishments that have
implemented such programs to protect children from an
•HRES 254 IH
abduction or lost scenario, and urges retail business and
public establishments that have not implemented such pro-
grams to consider doing so.
