(Κωδικός Adam) «Το Χαμόγελο του Παιδιού»

Transcript

1 (Κωδικός Adam) Το πρόγραμμα Code Adam (Κωδικός Adam) πήρε το όνομά του από τον 6χρονο Adam Walsh, οποίος απήχθη το 1981 από εμπορικό κέντρο της Florida και 16 ημέρες μετά βρέθηκε δολοφονημένος. Το πρόγραμμα Code Adam εφαρμόζεται στις Η.Π.Α. από το 1994 και αποτελεί το πλέον αποτελεσματικό εργαλείο για τον εντοπισμό παιδιών, που έχουν χαθεί ή απαχθεί σε δεκάδες χιλιάδες εγκαταστάσεις (εμπορικά κέντρα, εστιατόρια, χώρους ψυχαγωγίας, μουσεία, δημόσιες βιβλιοθήκες, τράπεζες, νοσοκομεία, super market, Luna park κ.λ.π.). Αποτελεί ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα προγράμματα προστασίας ανηλίκων στην χώρα και η υποχρεωτική εφαρμογή του σε όλες τις κρατικές εγκαταστάσεις των Η.Π.Α. θεσμοθετήθηκε το Στην είσοδο όλων των επιχειρήσεων, που συμμετέχουν στο πρόγραμμα Code Adam υπάρχει εμφανής ένδειξη, έτσι ώστε να ενημερώνεται το κοινό κατά την είσοδό του στον χώρο. «Το Χαμόγελο του Παιδιού» αποτελώντας ένα από τα τρία κύρια μέλη του Διεθνούς Κέντρου για τα Εξαφανισμένα και Κακοποιημένα παιδιά (International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children), το οποίο εδρεύει στην Washington των Η.Π.Α. έχοντας την Αντιπροεδρία στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ομοσπονδία για τα Εξαφανισμένα και Σεξουαλικά Κακοποιημένα παιδιά (European Federation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children), η οποία αποτελεί συμβουλευτικό όργανο της Ε.Ε. ως αναγνωρισμένο Εθνικό Κέντρο για την Αντιμετώπιση των Φαινομένων της Εξαφάνισης και Κακοποίησης των Παιδιών ως πιστοποιημένος φορέας με καθημερινή δράση αναφορικά με θέματα εξαφανίσεων ανηλίκων στην Ελλάδα Αναλαμβάνει την εισαγωγή του Προγράμματος Code Adam και στην Ελλάδα και ευελπιστεί στην εφαρμογή του σε κάθε χώρο δημόσιο ή ιδιωτικό με την συνεργασία επιχειρήσεων και κρατικών υπηρεσιών. Η εφαρμογή του εν λόγω προγράμματος είναι απλή, δεν προϋποθέτει κόστος, δεν απαιτεί ιδιαίτερη εκπαίδευση ή υποδομές. Βασίζεται στην άμεση κινητοποίηση και ενημέρωση και η διάρκειά του δεν υπερβαίνει τα 10. Η εμπειρία και οι στατιστικές αποδεικνύουν ότι ο μεγαλύτερος εχθρός σε περιστατικά απαγωγής ανηλίκων είναι ο χρόνος. Ακολουθεί μία σύντομη περιγραφή του Προγράμματος και πως αυτό εφαρμόζεται στις Η.Π.Α.

2 Υπάρχουν έξι βασικά βήματα, τα οποία ακολουθεί το εκπαιδευμένο προσωπικό κάθε επιχείρησης από την στιγμή ενεργποίησης του Code Adam: 1. ο υπάλληλος ενημερώνεται ότι παιδί αγνοείται εντός του χώρου από τον νόμιμο συνοδό και παράλληλα λαμβάνει πλήρη και λεπτομερή περιγραφή (ενδυμασία, φύλο, ηλικία, ύψος, βάρος, άλλα φυσικά χαρακτηριστικά κ.λ.π.) 2. ο υπάλληλος ενεργοποιεί το Code Adam ενημερώνοντας για τα χαρακτηριστικά του αγνοούμενου παιδιού μέσω μικροφόνου. Υπάλληλοι, που έχουν οριστεί, εξετάζουν τις εισόδους/εξόδους του χώρου, ενώ παράλληλα άλλοι αναζητούν το παιδί στο κατάστημα, στο parking, στις τουαλέτες κ.λ.π. Monitor μέσα στις εγκαταστάσεις εμφανίζουν τα στοιχεία του αγνοούμενου παιδιού. 3. Εάν το παιδί δεν βρεθεί μέσα στα επόμενα 10 ενημερώνονται οι τοπικές αστυνομικές αρχές 4. Εάν το παιδί βρεθεί σε καλή κατάσταση και φανεί ότι απλά είχε χαθεί επιστρέφει στο μέλος της οικογένειας/κηδεμόνα, που το αναζητά 5. Εάν το παιδί βρεθεί συνοδευόμενο από άτομο εκτός του νόμιμου συνοδού του καθυστερείται η αναχώρησή τους από τον χώρο χωρίς να κινδυνέψει η σωματική ακεραιότητα του παιδιού, του προσωπικού ή των επισκεπτών. Οι αστυνομικές αρχές ενημερώνονται σχετικά με το άγνωστο άτομο, που βρέθηκε να συνοδεύει το παιδί. 6. Η ενεργοποίηση του Code Adam παύει μόλις εντοπιστεί ασφαλές το παιδί ή αντίθετα κατά την άφιξη της Αστυνομίας, η οποία αναλαμβάνει το περιστατικό. Σε αυτή την περίπτωση ακολουθεί ενεργοποίηση του Amber Alert. Πως εγγράφεσαι στο πρόγραμμα Code Adam: Η συμμετοχή δεν απαιτεί κάποια συνδρομή. Ο ενδιαφερόμενος επικοινωνεί με το «Εθνικό Κέντρο για τα Εξαφανισμένα και Κακοποιημένα Παιδιά» (National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children) αποστέλλοντας μία αίτηση μέσω mail και άμεσα λαμβάνει πληροφοριακό υλικό, το οποίο περιλαμβάνει Video για την εκπαίδευση των υπαλλήλων Poster στο οποίο απεικονίζονται τα έξι βήματα, που πρέπει να ακολουθηθούν σε περίπτωση ενεργοποίησης Δύο σημάνσεις, οι οποίες θα τοποθετηθούν στην/ις είσοδο/όδους του χώρου και θα ενημερώνουν το κοινό ότι στον εν λόγω χώρο εφαρμόζεται το πρόγραμμα Code Adam. Ποιοι συμμετέχουν στο Πρόγραμμα Code Adam: Παραθέτουμε λίστα με μερικές μόνο από τις επιχειρήσεις, τα μουσεία και άλλους δημόσιους χώρους, που συμμετέχουν και εφαρμόζουν το Πρόγραμμα Code Adam στις Η.Π.Α. Στην συγκεκριμένη λίστα περιλαμβάνονται Εισαγγελίες και Αστυνομικές Αρχές, που συμμετέχουν στο πρόγραμμα παρέχοντας στήριξη και ενημέρωση στην περιοχή τους για την εφαρμογή του A R Financial A&P Group AAFES Academy Sports & Outdoors Action City (Eau Claire, WI) ADC, Inc.
