In Poland, about 13,000 missing persons. That's a lot. Most of the missing people find themselves in a short time. But there's that interest that never finds itself.
The year-to-year disappearances are increasingly publicized – on the Internet, on social networks, on tv or on public posts, as well as in podcasts.
I think each of us has heard about the disappearance of Iwona Wieczorek, the Bogdanski family, Ewa Tylman (with a tragic ending), or the disappearance of Krzysztof Dymiński, who has been missing for 2 years. But barely anyone knows about the cases of Michał Delewski, Joanna Brylowska or Daria Młynarczyk.
Some missing persons are more publicized and others less. ChildAlert is known to be activated after a short time erstwhile children disappear. But specified technology is not available erstwhile adults are missing – an adult could vanish of his own free will, start a fresh life distant from his household (such cases happen very rarely).
Although there are besides accidents – e.g. beating and memory loss. This was the case with Mr. Tadeusz, who found himself after... 10 years!
One individual does, but to the full family?!
One of the most mysterious disappearances is the case of the Bogdan family. The family, who lived in Starowa Góra all day, vanished into thin air 1 April 2003. At that time 5 people disappeared: father Krzysztof, parent Bożena, daughter of Małgorzata, boy of Jakub and parent of Krzysztof – Danut.
To this day, it is 1 of the most mysterious things.
Such group disappearances happen seldom – almost never.
It is easier for a single individual to “disperse in the air” than for a group of respective people.
That's why this case keeps investigators up at night.
Suspects first fell on the father of the family. The case has inactive not been resolved, and the full communicative can be read on the website Łódź Journal.
Missing Children
They're the hardest. Children don't quit their old lives like adults do. They are most frequently kidnapped by their own parents (who do not have full custody of them, or are taken from them the right to care, and adults are not reconciled with the decision of the court), kidnapped by abroad persons or their closest neighbors, or are separated from their home (then there is an accident, e.g. drowning or an aggressor appears in their path).
According to Polish Police“Over 6,300 people who were under 18 have been missing in Poland in the last 3 years”.
Portal on subject mentions that "The teen escapes prevail among the missing. In a group of younger children, the most common origin of disappearance is the neglect of parents. Parental abductions are besides common. There are, however, mysterious disappearances that have not been resolved."
International Day of the Lost kid is celebrated on May 25. In 2025 from 12 to 25 May a social run continued "#Missing Forgotten"That reminded me of children who were missing many years ago. Its creators are the Polish Police and the ITAKA Foundation of the Missing Persons Search Center. The honorary patronage was taken by the Ombudsman Monika Horna-Cieślak.
This action shows us that we must never lose hope and uncertainty that a insignificant associate of our household will find himself.
Such a run supports missing families and informs the public about the identity of children who disappeared many years ago.
Despite missing a long time ago, presently thanks to the latest technology, the service is able to make progressive portraits – that is, a photograph of the missing individual along with its "burning". Thanks to these actions, children lost 20 years ago turn into adults and can look like the individual we pass on the street all day.
Hard and without anesthesia
– this is how we have been operating since 2020. Journalism that is not indifferent. The civilian Affairs Weekly announces abuse, educates and gives tools for a real, civic change.

Missing worse than dying?
Is that the truth? Is the death of a household associate “better” than his disappearance? If the household is waiting for the next individual to return 20 years, then the full period is like suspended. He doesn't know what happens to a household member, where he is, whether he's alive or safe.
Most missing-person families say that this is the kind of missing individual "worse than death."
Even the worst information would be better than this state of unconsciousness.
The household would like to light a candle on their grave and have a household associate “near” – even though he is already dead.
There's always this spark of hope that the missing individual will find himself and come home. That hope never dies.
What if individual in our immediate vicinity goes missing?
It is not actual that in order to study missing, it must pass 48 hours since the individual disappeared. If a police officer doesn't accept our study due to the fact that he says it's not adequate time, then we can ask for a written confirmation of not accepting the application.
If the police station doesn't accept our study of the disappearance of a household member, then it's best to notify the ITAKA Foundation, contact neighbors, the nearest family, shopkeepers from the nearest neighborhood.
It is besides worth visiting hospitals, hostels, etc.
The most crucial thing is the hours after she disappeared.
Missing the closest individual can affect any of us
"Criminal Magazine 997" and "Whoever has seen, whoever knows..." are most likely 2 of the best-known criminal programs, as well as showing the profiles of missing persons.
The leading 1 of these programs was Michał Fajbusiewicz. He personally suffered a tragedy – his erstwhile sympathy Barbara Chrzczonowicz disappeared in 1986 and was not found to this day. All suspicions fall upon Basi's spouse, but there is no evidence.
He's not the only known individual to have suffered specified a tragedy...
Ylenii Carrisi – the daughter of Romina Power and Al Bano, who disappeared in... 1994, disappeared on her lonely journey to the United States. Her parents divided up 5 years after the tragedy that hit them.
Such situations frequently happen – people do not endure tension – they have different views: Al Bano wanted to consider his daughter dead, Romina always believed that Ylenia was alive. In many cases, the closest household members are affected by serious diseases due to the effects of stress on their body and in the worst cases die.
Ylenia's parent is certain that her daughter is alive somewhere and will come back...
Everyone does things differently. The father of the missing Krzysztof – Daniel Dymiński together with his friends and divers undertook the search on his own. For his own money he is searching the Warsaw section of Vistula. So far He's already found any bodies.which have been trapped in a river mule or settled at the bottom of the river. Thanks to Mr. Daniel, another families can go on surviving with this cognition that their loved 1 is dead. The “suspension” phase has ended for them.
Welcome to internships, internships and volunteering!
Join us!Not just a criminal sensation.
The origin of someone's disappearance doesn't should be kidnapping or murder. Many missing persons are caused by illness, e.g. in aged people, may be Alzheimer's. specified a individual leaves the house, but no longer remembers the way back to him.
Therefore, erstwhile we see a lost aged individual on the street, let us not be afraid to approach her.
Maybe she's already wanted by her family, who's definitely more frightened than we are.
We can aid the baby, too. Just look distant for a fewer seconds and we may lose sight of the small one. Children are very curious, so if they see something interesting, they don't care about anything and they go towards the object of interest.
When we announcement helpless looking at the side of the child, and worse, crying – let us not look away. Let's go to the small guy and call the police, but the easiest thing to do is dial 911.
In an “anesthetic” time, let us go out in front of a series and aid others.
Let us be more open and kind to 1 another. That's it. That's it.
Summer life on a giant
As Polish police say, the number of missing children increases in spring and summer. Most frequently these are escapes from home, caused by the desire to experience adventure in a free time.
The force of peers, the challenges of the Internet, the desire to “get out” of the home – all this affects making specified a decision alternatively than another one.
Let us talk to our children, learn about their situation at school, and see what content they see on the Internet. possibly this will aid us to defend them from large danger and ourselves from large stress.
Let's keep our eyes peeled!
It's a large echo. Missing 71-year-old in Wrocław. The Lord went out for a walk with his dog, and erstwhile he did not return home after any time, his son, after a fruitless search on his own, notified the police.
A fewer hours later, a female walking down the street pointed to a confused dog with a leash moving around the mall. erstwhile she caught a leash, the dog led her towards the close bushes. There was a missing elder who needed help. Human mindfulness and fidelity to the dog helped, or, actually, the bitches.
Thanks to a fast reaction, the case ended happily.
We can aid in different ways – sharing posts on social media, suspending posters with missing images, and the most crucial thing will be looking not only at the top of your own shoes. Especially since winter is coming.
Walking down the street, let's look around – possibly the gentleman sitting on the bench is simply a missing Mr. Roman 3 years ago 500 kilometres away?
Let us look at another people, treat them with kindness, and possibly we can get 1 household out of the “suspension”?
