What does NCMEC stand for?

• A. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
• B. National Center for Missing Children and Exploited Persons
• C. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
• D. National Center for Media and Education Communications

Answer: (C)

NCMEC stands for National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. This nonprofit focuses on locating missing children and preventing their exploitation, acting as a resource for families, law enforcement, and the community. The correct expansion uses “Missing and Exploited Children” in that order, which is why this is the right choice. The option that mentions “Exploited Persons” isn’t the official name, and the one with “Media and Education Communications” refers to something unrelated to this mission.
