BEIJING - Chinese police on Sunday launched a mobile app to encourage witnesses to report the whereabouts of missing or trafficked children.
More than 5,000 anti-trafficking police will provide updates to the app on receiving new reports of missing children, according to a statement from the criminal investigation bureau of the Ministry of Public Security.
Users near where the child disappeared will receive push notifications, including photos and descriptions.
