No More Missing Children Act

This bill would require the Department of Health and Human Services, working with the Department of Homeland Security, to create a program to prevent the trafficking or disappearance of unaccompanied migrant children released to sponsors. Children and their sponsors would be tracked by GPS, take part in monthly voice-verified phone check-ins, and provide DNA, and home visits would be required before and after placement. Sponsors and adult household members would undergo fingerprinting and many background checks, repeated at least every three months. The bill lists people who could not serve as sponsors, such as those with certain criminal records or gang ties, and requires removing a child from a sponsor who fails to meet release conditions, such as missing a court date.
