iHeartRadio is teaming up with the United States Marshals Service, Fox 8 News along with Amanda Berry to form “Operation Safety Net” to help locate missing kids in the Cleveland area.

Operation Safety Net is a U.S. Marshals led initiative aimed at recovering endangered missing juveniles. The U.S. Marshals, along with local law enforcement agencies, have identified children who are at a high risk of human trafficking, abuse or neglect. 

The U.S. Marshals are dedicated to this mission and they need your help. If you have any information about these missing kids, or any other missing juveniles, please call 1-866-492-6833.
